Nat-Gas Prices Retreat on Abundant US Supplies

July Nymex natural gas (NGN26) on Friday fell -0.107 (-3.21%).

Forecasts for hot US weather are supportive of nat-gas prices, as warmer weather could boost nat-gas demand from electricity providers to meet the expected increase in air-conditioning use.  The Commodity Weather Group on Friday said that US weather forecasts shifted hotter, with above-average temperatures expected across the Midwest and Northeast through June 14.
