Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Fall on Bearish EIA Report

September Nymex natural gas (NGU26) on Thursday closed down -0.077 (-2.75%).

Nat-gas prices closed lower on Thursday due to a +36 bcf rise in nat-gas inventories in the weekly EIA report, larger than market expectations of +31 bcf. 

However, nat-gas prices remained underpinned by warm forecasts, which will boost nat-gas demand from utilities to meet increased air-conditioning demand.  Forecasts are for above-average temps across the South and Southeast through August 22, according to Commodity Weather Group.  Vaisala is forecasting above-normal temperatures for the West for Aug 22-26. 

As a bearish factor, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Tuesday projected that US nat-gas storage levels will swell to 3,985 bcf at the end of October, the highest level in 10 years and 5% above the five-year average.  US nat-gas inventories are currently +6.7% above their 5-year seasonal average, a sign of robust supplies.
