Nat-Gas Prices Fall on Bearish EIA Report

August Nymex natural gas (NGQ25) on Thursday closed down by -0.079 (-2.26%).

Aug nat-gas prices on Thursday fell after the weekly EIA report showed that nat-gas inventories rose by +55 bcf, which was a bigger increase than expectations of +49 bcf although lower than the 5-year average of +61 bcf.  The report indicated that inventories were plentiful, 6.2% above the 5-year average.

Natural gas prices received support from a warmer shift in temperatures in the Midwest and expectations for above-normal temperatures in the West for July 8-12, according to Vaisala.    Also, temperature forecasts shifted warmer for the eastern half of the US for July 13-17.

Lower-48 state dry gas production on Thursday was 107.4 bcf/day (+3.3% y/y), according to BNEF.  Lower-48 state gas demand on Thursday was 74.0 bcf/day (-5.4% y/y), according to BNEF.  Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Thursday were 15.0 bcf/day (+0.2% w/w), according to BNEF.
