Natural Gas Moves Higher Despite Mild Forecasts for Big Markets

Natural gas price rose early on Friday despite mild forecasts for the big markets on the Northeast and Upper Midwest and a day-prior report showing a larger than expected rise in inventories of the fuel.Gas for July delivery was last seen up US$0.03 to US$3.11 per million British thermal units.The rise comes even as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect temperatures in the Northeast and Upper Midwest to be cooler than seasonal over its six to 10 day outlook, easing demand for air conditioning.In its weekly survey of stocks of the fuel, the Energy Information Administration on Thursday said inventories last week rose by 108-billion cubic feet of the fuel, above the consensus estimate for a rise of 100-bcf, according to NatGasWeather. The rise left inventories at 2.69-trillion cubic feet, 6% above the five-year average.

U.S. Henry Hub Spot Price Rises in Week Ended June 10, EIA Reports

The U.S. benchmark Henry Hub spot price rose US$0.31/million British thermal units to $3.26/MMBtu in the week ended June 10, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report Supplement released Thursday.Total U.S. natural gas consumption increased by 2.7 billion cubic feet per day week over week, led by a 10% rise in the electric power sector due to above-normal temperatures across the Northern and Central U.S., the EIA said.U.S. natural gas supply declined 0.5 Bcf/d, driven by lower dry natural gas production, the EIA reported, citing LSEG Data.The LNG-carrying capacity of vessels departing the U.S. was 129 Bcf, up 18 Bcf week over week. Thirty-four LNG vessels left the U.S., five vessels more than in the previous week.Net injections into storage amounted to 108 Bcf for the week ended June 5, resulting in total working gas stocks of 2,686 Bcf, according to EIA estimates. This was 151 Bcf more than the five-year average and 5 Bcf lower than the year-ago period.

Natural Gas Falls Ahead of Storage Data on Mild Long-Term Forecasts

Natural gas prices fall early on Thursday ahead of fresh storage data as long-term forecasts expect mild weather for most states.Gas for July delivery was last seen down US$0.05 to US$3.13 per million British thermal units.The drop comes as the National Weather Service's six to 10 day forecast expects nearly all states east of the Rocky Mountains to see seasonal or cooler temperatures over period, keeping cooling demand light.The Energy Information Administration will release its weekly look at inventories of the fuel later on Thursday morning, with another sizable rise in stocks expected."For today's EIA weekly storage report, survey averages are tightly clustered at +99-101 Bcf, slightly larger than the 5-year average of +95 Bcf. For the sample week, it was hotter than normal across much of the western and central US, while cooler than normal across the East. We expect a fat build of +103 Bcf, aided by strong solar generation," NatGasWeather wrote.

U.S. EIA Reduces 2026 Global Oil Demand Forecast Amid High Prices, Reduced Availability

The U.S. Energy Information Administration lowered its forecast for global oil demand in 2026 in its June Short-Term Energy Outlook released Tuesday, citing high fuel prices, reduced fuel availability and government initiatives.The reduced global demand, particularly in Asia, could limit oil price increases resulting from near-term disruptions in oil flows out of the Middle East due to the war, the EIA said. The world is expected to consume 1 million fewer barrels of oil per day on average year over year."Any scenario involving full restoration of inventories, production, and trade flows to pre-conflict levels must account for the partial restructuring of the global oil market that has already occurred," EIA Administrator Tristan Abbey said.Brent crude oil prices are expected to average US$95/barrel in 2026, falling to $79/barrel in 2027 when supply flows and oil production resume.Natural gas prices at Henry Hub are forecast to average $3.60 in 2026 and $3.46 in 2027. Supply growth continues to outpace demand, lowering prices in the EIA's outlook from earlier forecasts, according to the agency.
