Tuesdays have been a natural gas bull’s savior as of late. Making it three in a row, futures rebounded yesterday as traders once again were in a buying mood ahead of Wednesday’s weekly storage report. Fighting against a gap lower open and a quick move down to $4.05, buyers stepped up their efforts mid-morning and watched as prices bubbled higher throughout much of the rest of the session. Although small, the one-cent advance leading to yesterday’s $4.123 closing price was claimed as a victory by bulls who have found little to like about this market thus far in 2001.
