Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Retreat as US Storage Levels Build

August Nymex natural gas (NGQ26) on Thursday closed down -0.024 (-0.75%).

Nat-gas prices slid to a 2-week low on Thursday and settled lower after weekly US nat-gas storage rose more than expected.  The EIA reported that weekly EIA nat-gas inventories rose by +87 bcf in the week ended June 26, above the consensus of +83 bcf. 

Nat-gas prices maintained their losses on Thursday amid forecasts for cooler US weather, potentially reducing nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air-conditioning.  The Commodity Weather Group on Thursday said forecasts shifted cooler, with normal seasonal weather expected across the eastern two-thirds of the US from July 7-16.

US (lower-48) dry gas production on Thursday was 111.7 bcf/day (+2.8% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Thursday was 79.1 bcf/day (+4.7% y/y), according to BNEF.  Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Thursday were 19.3 bcf/day (+1.5% w/w), according to BNEF.
