Oil rises, but natural gas slides under pressure

Energy markets are showing mixed trends, with oil prices experiencing a slight increase. The April WTI future gains 0.38%, reaching $66.61 per barrel, while the May Brent contract rises 0.46%, reaching $69.78 per barrel. However, natural gas in Amsterdam has taken a significant hit, dropping 3.3% to around 40 euros per megawatt hour. Despite the oil price increase, investors remain cautious amid a global environment that continues to show signs of volatility, with economic uncertainty weighing on the market's future outlook.
