Tuesday, May 7th saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $2.548, more than two cents above Monday’s closing price of $2.524.  Trading within a tight range throughout the duration of the session, prices fell to an intraday low of $2.529 at 9:50AM and tallied an intraday high of $2.556 at 1:20PM.  Yesterday’s recovery was an attempt to reclaim Monday’s losses.  Lacking any significant direction from changes in market conditions, the $2.50 level should provide support in the coming weeks.  June closed higher on Tuesday at $2.537.
