It has slipped somewhat since, to about $50.50, after comments from Iraq&#8217;s Oil Minister Jabar Ali al-Luaibi indicating his country wanted to be exempt from any output cuts that OPEC might impose, saying Iraq needed the revenue to fight the Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>Energy trader Mark Fisher is advising investors to buy crude oil and natural gas on dips. &#8220;In my opinion, the most likely course is for the market to gradually establish a new base someplace in the $55 to $65 range barring some kind of geopolitical problem,&#8221; he told CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It used to be that in natgas, every time the market rallied you could just close your eyes and sell it. I think those days are long over. I think now the time has come that you can basically buy every dip,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodySignup\">Want to read more <i>Energy Report<\/i> articles like this? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theenergyreport.com\/pub\/htdocs\/signupnow.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up<\/a> for our free e-newsletter, and you&#8217;ll learn when new articles have been published.
