Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Fall as Mild U.S. Temperatures Expected

July Nymex natural gas (NGN23) on Tuesday closed down -0.090 (-3.72%).

July nat-gas prices Tuesday retreated on the outlook for mild weather to curb nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air conditioning.  The Commodity Weather Group expects normal to below-normal temperatures across the southern and eastern U.S. from June 3-7.

Nat-gas prices fell sharply starting in December and posted a 2-1/2 year nearest-futures low (NGK23) Apr 14 as abnormally mild weather across the northern hemisphere this past winter eroded heating demand for nat-gas.  January was the sixth-warmest across the contiguous 48 U.S. states in data from 1895.  This winter's warm temperatures have caused rising nat-gas inventories in Europe and the United States.  Gas storage across Europe was 68% full as of May 28, well above the 5-year seasonal average of 50% full for this time of year.  Nat-gas inventories in the U.S. were +17.0% above their 5-year seasonal average as of May 19.
