Natural Gas Falls as Traders Sell Ahead of the Weekend -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-21

1528 ET - Natural gas futures settle down 1.1% for the week, to $3.095 per mmBtu. That's after a decline of 2.2% seen in today's session. It's the second consecutive week that natural gas has fallen, getting bogged down by U.S. and Israeli attempts to secure the Strait of Hormuz militarily, as fighting between Iran and its neighboring countries impacts energy infrastructure and natural gas availability. Profit-taking led the way for natural gas futures, says NatGasWeather.com in a note. "We expect it will be a dangerous weekend to hold and dependent on where the U.S./Iran/Middle East conflict proceeds next, especially after Iran bombed LNG facilities yesterday," says the firm.
