Natural Gas Futures Market News and Commentary

Nat-Gas Prices Surge as Storage Tightens and US Weather Turns Hotter

July Nymex natural gas (NGN26) on Thursday closed up +0.190 (+6.14%).

Nat-gas prices rallied to a 2.5-month nearest-futures high on Thursday and settled sharply higher on a smaller-than-expected weekly storage increase.  EIA nat-gas inventories rose +92 bcf in the week ended May 22, below expectations of +96 bcf.  Nat-gas prices added to their gains after updated weather forecasts turned hotter, potentially boosting nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power increased air-conditioning usage.  The Commodity Weather Group said Thursday that above-average temperatures are expected across the West and Midwest from June 2-11.  

Projections for higher US nat-gas production are negative for prices.  On May 12, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 110.61 bcf/day from an April estimate of 109.60 bcf/day.  US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high in late February.
