Breakdown Context

The 20-day line, now at $4,086, was decisively breached last week, triggering a bearish retracement low at $3,886 — a critical support level. The breakdown was accompanied by additional bearish developments, including a drop below the top of a near-term rising trend channel and the prior low of $4,003. With key support now broken, the current upswing is testing that former support as resistance, but bulls have shown little conviction, barely extending beyond a tight three-day range sitting directly on support.

Resistance Zone

Rallies into the 10-day line at $4,070 and 20-day average at $4,086 form a formidable resistance zone. Expect resistance to turn price back down and fail the rally. The 10-day, now below the 20-day, takes on greater significance as dynamic resistance. A sustained advance above the 20-day would target the top rising channel line and a prior three-day resistance shelf from $4,144 to $4,161, where sellers could reassert control.

Correction Outlook

The pattern strongly suggests at least another leg down before the correction completes. If the 20-day cannot be reached, it signals persistent overhanging selling pressure likely resolving to the downside. The 20-day’s long-standing role as dynamic support since August’s advance makes the dynamics of the first pullback higher particularly significant — a test as resistance is expected before sellers regain full control and push lower.

Key Levels

The close below $3,972 is decisive — below it risks $3,886, above it tests $4,086. Resistance caps rallies, but failure to reach the 20-day flags deeper weakness. Watch $4,070-$4,086 closely — a break opens $4,144, while rejection targets lower support. The bearish crossover and weak rally favor sellers until proven otherwise.

Why is the U.S. natural gas price rising today?

That was the question Rigzone asked Phil Flynn, a senior market analyst at the PRICE Futures Group, in an exclusive interview on Friday.

In response, Flynn told Rigzone that Thursday’s natural gas injection “was right in line” and added that “now we are getting forecasts indicating colder conditions for late October and early November”, which he outlined “have led to increased purchasing activity in major U.S. regions, including the Midwest and Northeast”.   

“We saw initial weather models suggested a return of warmer temperatures, momentarily dampening the rally. Subsequent projections of below-normal temperatures have renewed bullish market sentiment,” Flynn added.

“This trend is consistent with global developments. Cold weather across Europe and Asia is reducing inventories, with European stocks declining by 11 percent since early October and supporting elevated benchmark prices such as Henry Hub,” he continued.

In its latest weekly natural gas storage report, which was released on Thursday and included data for the week ending October 24, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) noted that working gas in storage was 3,882 billion cubic feet as of October 24, according to its estimates.

“This represents a net increase of 74 billion cubic feet from the previous week,” the EIA said in that report.

“Stocks were 29 billion cubic feet higher than last year at this time and 171 billion cubic feet above the five-year average of 3,711 billion cubic feet. At 3,882 billion cubic feet, total working gas is within the five-year historical range,” it added.

When he was asked why the U.S. natural gas price is rising today in a separate exclusive interview on Friday, Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at B. Riley Wealth, pointed out that “U.S. natural gas futures successfully tested the important support level of $3.27 earlier this week and now has risen past $4.1 per MMBtu [million British thermal units], the highest in seven months”.  

“Expectations of colder weather in the U.S. ahead of the winter supported demand for gas-intensive heating. Meanwhile, the average flow of gas to the eight big U.S. LNG export plants were at 16.5 billion cubic feet per day in October, well above the 15.7 billion cubic feet per day from the previous month to set up a fresh record ahead of the turn of the month,” he added.

Hogan went on to state that “high LNG flows were aligned with added demand from Europe as the gradual shun of Russian gas coincided with lower stocks in gas trading hubs, while the U.S. Presidential administration pressed for pledges of U.S. energy imports for Asian countries negotiating trade deals”.

In an EBW Analytics Group report sent to Rigzone by the EBW team on Friday, Eli Rubin, an energy analyst at the company, said the December natural gas contract “is nearing technical resistance at the 100-day moving average of $4.13 per MMBtu for the first time since June, with the market transitioning away from storage oversupply fears toward a robust structural winter narrative”.

“Fundamentally, though, the near to medium term remains very well supplied,” Rubin said in that report.

Rubin highlighted in this report that “daily LNG is skyrocketing, with early-cycle nominations smashing record highs by 0.6 billion cubic feet per day”.

“Strong Gulf Coast demand drove Henry Hub spot prices to $3.45 per MMBtu – the highest level since mid-July,” he added.

In the report, Rubin went on to state that “December contract strength, despite this week’s 25 billion cubic foot bearish weather shift and storage on track to surpass 3,950 billion cubic feet, signals upside momentum – and risks that early-winter optimism may exceed fundamentals”.

“While higher supply and technical resistance may slow upside … momentum appears quite strong into November,” he said.

Used primarily as a bargaining tool to encourage Putin to return to the negotiating table regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, markets are seriously questioning the effectiveness of recent sanctions.

While predictably, the Kremlin made comments shortly after the announcement to suggest that the domestic Russian oil industry would be unaffected by new American sanctions, markets are now taking these comments more seriously.

This goes double for Vladimir Putin, who went on record to say he would not be “cowed” by other nations into making concessions about Ukraine, while simultaneously boasting about the success of new nuclear technology.

While it is understandable that Trump wants to target Russian fossil fuels, with the three largest companies by market cap in Russia, Lukoil, Rosneft, and Gazprom, all being energy corporations, it will take more supply-side risk to secure higher pricing for WTI, which is on pace for its worst yearly performance since 2020.

As expected, the level of risk premium priced into WTI markets has reduced significantly this week, not only due to the above, but also because of the market’s inherent nature: sudden news events often cause the markets to overreact.

December arabica coffee (KCZ25) today is down -2.30 (-0.59%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF26) is down -7 (-0.15%).

Coffee prices are under pressure today but remain above Tuesday’s 2-week lows.  Prices are sliding amid forecasts of rain this week in key coffee-growing areas of Brazil, which would partially alleviate the dry conditions from last week.  Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil’s largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received only 0.3 mm of rain during the week ended October 24, or 1% of the historical average.

Arabica coffee prices are also being undercut by speculation that the US may soon lift its 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee.  On Monday, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he had a “surprisingly good” meeting with President Trump and said there could be a “definitive solution” on US-Brazil trade within days.

Shrinking ICE coffee inventories are supportive for prices.  The 50% tariffs imposed on US imports from Brazil have led to a sharp drawdown in ICE coffee inventories.  ICE-monitored arabica inventories fell to a 1.5-year low of 446,475 bags on Wednesday, and ICE robusta coffee inventories fell to a 3.25-month low of 6,111 lots.  American buyers are voiding new contracts for Brazilian coffee purchases due to the 50% tariffs on US imports from Brazil, thereby tightening US supplies, as about a third of America’s unroasted coffee comes from Brazil.

Last Thursday, arabica coffee rallied to an 8.5-month nearest-futures high due to concern that excessive dry conditions in Brazil during the critical flowering period for coffee trees will threaten the 2026/27 coffee crop.  According to the Bloomberg Brazil Weather Analysis, coffee-producing regions in Brazil have been experiencing an intense drought, with the state of Minas Gerais recording only about 70% of its average rainfall over the past month.

Coffee prices garnered support after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on September 16  increased the likelihood to 71% of a La Niña weather system in the southern hemisphere from October to December, which could bring excessive dry weather to Brazil and harm the 2026/27 coffee crop.  Brazil is the world’s largest producer of arabica coffee.

Robusta coffee is under pressure from increased Vietnamese supplies.  The Vietnam National Statistics Office reported on October 13 that Vietnam’s Jan-Sep 2025 coffee exports rose +10.9% y/y to 1.230 MMT.  Also, Vietnam’s 2025/26 coffee production is projected to climb +6% y/y to 1.76 MMT, or 29.4 million bags, a 4-year high.  In addition, the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (Vicofa) said last Friday that Vietnam’s coffee output in 2025/26 will be 10% higher than the previous crop year if weather conditions remain favorable.   Vietnam is the world’s largest producer of robusta coffee.  

Larger coffee exports are bearish for prices after the International Coffee Organization (ICO) reported on October 6 that global coffee exports for the current marketing year (Oct-Aug) rose +0.2% y/y to 127.92 million bags, indicating adequate exports and supplies.

Coffee prices found support after Conab, Brazil’s crop forecasting agency, cut its Brazil 2025 arabica coffee crop estimate on September 4 by -4.9% to 35.2 million bags from a May forecast of 37.0 million bags.  Conab also reduced its total Brazil 2025 coffee production estimate by 0.9% to 55.2 million bags, from a May estimate of 55.7 million bags.

The USDA’s Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS) projected on June 25 that world coffee production in 2025/26 will increase by +2.5% y/y to a record 178.68 million bags, with a -1.7% decrease in arabica production to 97.022 million bags and a +7.9% increase in robusta production to 81.658 million bags.  FAS forecasted that Brazil’s 2025/26 coffee production will increase by +0.5% y/y to 65 million bags and that Vietnam’s 2025/26 coffee output will rise by 6.9% y/y to a 4-year high of 31 million bags.  FAS forecasts that 2025/26 ending stocks will climb by +4.9% to 22.819 million bags from 21.752 million bags in 2024/25.
