Natural Gas futures ended the week on a down note, as traders returned their focus to near record gas storage levels as the winter heating season approaches. Gas traders bid-up prices earlier in the week, as two tropical disturbances had the potential to reach the U.S. Gulf coast. That thread has dissipated, turning Gas bulls into sellers as the week comes to an end. Total Gas in storage is nearing record highs for this time of year, with 3.253 trillion cubic feet available. A late session sell-off, kept the November contract from holding above the 20-day moving average of $7.077, which is a negative to technical traders. $7.000 is support for November Natural Gas, with resistance found at the recent highs of $7.505. November Natural Gas closed at 7.073, down 0.204.

Gold futures rebounded sharply this afternoon, after an initial sell-off following the U.S. non-farm payrolls report was met with fresh buying. The comeback of the Euro Currency vs. the U.S. Dollar was that catalyst for Gold's recovery, with speculators taking advantage of the early sell-off to add to existing long positions. A higher than expected rise in average hourly earnings last month, sparked some fears of wage inflation, which may help sway the Fed from lowering interest rates at their next meeting at the end of October. The next resistance point for December Gold is seen at $752.80, with support found at the 20-day moving average of $733.30. December Gold closed at $747.20, up $3.40.
