Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Fall on a Larger-Than-Expected Inventory Build

August Nymex natural gas (NGQ26) on Thursday closed down -0.066 (-2.26%).

Nat-gas prices fell to a 2-month low on Tuesday and settled sharply lower after weekly nat-gas inventories rose more than expected.  The EIA reported that nat-gas inventories increased by +41 bcf in the week ended July 10, above expectations of +39 bcf. 

Nat-gas prices recovered from their worst level on Thursday amid an outlook for hot US weather, boosting nat-gas demand from electricity suppliers to power air-conditioning.  The Commodity Weather Group on Thursday said forecasts shifted hotter, with above-average temperatures expected across the Upper Midwest through July 20.

A bearish factor for nat-gas prices in the medium term is speculation that a powerful El Niño weather system will bring warmer-than-normal temperatures to the Northern Hemisphere this fall and winter, reducing nat-gas heating demand.
