Friday, July 11th saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas futures contract trade largely sideways throughout the session after reaching an intraday high of $3.412 early on. Seasonally average temperatures and steady production kept a lid on any rallies. Geopolitical factors also put bearish pressure on the market as August closed lower on Friday at $3.314
