Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Slide as US Weather Warms

April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Friday closed down -0.071 (-2.24%).

Nat-gas prices moved lower on Friday as warming US weather forecasts could lead to reduced nat-gas heating demand.  The Commodity Weather Group on Friday said forecasts shifted warmer, with above-average temperatures expected across the western half of the US through March 29.  

Further downside in nat-gas prices may be limited in the near term after Qatar on Thursday reported "extensive damage" at the world's largest natural gas export plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City.   Qatar said the attacks by Iran damaged 17% of Ras Laffan's LNG export capacity,  a damage that will take three to five years to repair.   The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural gas supply, and a reduction in its capacity could boost US nat-gas exports.  Also, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the war in Iran has sharply curtailed nat-gas supplies to Europe and Asia.
