-- 週四早盤，天然氣期貨價格在新的庫存數據公佈前下跌，春季氣溫持續抑制需求。 6月交割的天然氣期貨價格最新下跌0.04美元，至每百萬英熱單位2.69美元。 自4月1日進入製冷季以來，由於春季溫和的天氣持續抑制需求，天然氣價格一直低於每百萬英熱單位3美元。美國國家氣象局的長期預測顯示，未來8至14天，大多數州的氣溫將高於往年同期水平，但遠低於盛夏高溫。 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場天然氣和黃金策略師克里斯托弗·盧尼寫道：“季節性維護工作正在如火如荼地進行，抑制了需求，並加劇了本已供應充足的市場（庫存比五年平均水平高出7.7%），但隨著夏季的到來和新的液化天然氣生產線投入運營，這種淡季的局面似乎不會持續太久。” 美國能源資訊署將於週四稍晚發布其每週天然氣庫存調查報告。 Celsius Energy 預計該機構將報告稱，天然氣庫存將增加 730 億立方英尺，比五年平均高出 40 億立方英尺。

Canadian Natural Resources Maintained at Hold at TPH After Q1 Results; Price Target at C$70.00
Tudor, Pickering, Holt on Thursday maintained its hold rating on the shares of Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO, CNQ) with a C$70.00 price target following first-quarter results from the country's No.1 oil producer."While generally expected given net debt levels exiting 2025, highlights from the overall update include the formal step-up in return-of-capital alongside the ~4% beat on Q1 cash flow. On Q1 results, headline metrics include C$4.37B AFFO vs. TPHe/Street consensus C$4.19B/C$4.26B (C$2.09/shr vs. TPHe/Street C$2.01/C$2.01), with the delta vs. our model owing to realizations and expenses more than offsetting production. 1,643mboepd came in slightly below TPHe/Street 1,657/1,651, primarily driven by Oil Sands with 275mbopd In Situ comparing to TPHe/Street 279/276 and 588mbopd OSM comparing to TPHe/Street 594/595, though the April run-rate within OSM of 630mbopd bodes well for Q2 (TPHe/Street 587/587). On the balance sheet and return of capital, net debt is now sufficiently below C$16B to have driven CNQ to plan for returning 75% of FCF to shareholders. This is already starting to take effect, with April buybacks already totaling ~$0.3B, matching full Q1's buyback activity ($1.5B in return of capital, consisting of $1.2B in dividends and $0.3B in share repurchases); no change to TPHe H2'27+ at strip for the final uplift to 100% with ND (covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.
