Natural Gas Prices Poised for Further Decline Amid Hedge Fund Short Positions

Natural gas prices are expected to fall further due to hedge funds remaining net short on the commodity. Retail traders, on the other hand, are holding onto their long positions despite being in a losing situation.

This mismatch between retail and institutional investors is creating an opportunity for natural gas prices to decline. A notable demand zone at approximately $2.36 since 2024 has yet to be tapped into.

The author of the analysis believes that producers and leveraged funds will continue with short hedging, leading to a further unwinding of long positions and potentially a price drop of -12% over the next few days or weeks.
