Gold price, WTI crude price and natural gas price higher in early trading
Commodity prices have risen in early trading, as gold and natural gas continue their recovery and WTI renews its upward move.
Gold makes gains
Spot gold prices have stabilised over the past two days, after dipping to a near one-week low on Monday.
The price has succeeded in pushing higher, continuing the recovery from the mid-December low. A continuation of gains above the early January high at $2660 might then open the way to the $2725 highs from early December.
A close back below $2620 could put the sellers back in charge once again.

WTI pushes through $74
WTI crude oil's rally has continued, moving into a potential new phase after a strong session on Tuesday.
After showing some hesitation around $74 on Monday, the price has surged through this level, and now looks poised for further upside. The early October highs just below $76 now come into view.
A reversal back below $73 would be needed to put some pressure on the price and hint at a possible retracement. In this event, previous resistance at $72 might provide support.

Natural gas edges higher
A sharp pullback from the December highs at 4000 has carried the natural gas price back towards 3200.
The rising 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has provided support over the past few months, helping to maintain the uptrend. The December high represents a new higher high and could point the way to more upside. A close back above 3500 may well indicate that a new leg higher has begun.
