Natural Gas Rises on Cooling Long-Term Forecasts

Natural gas traded higher early Monday as long-term forecasts see cooler weather coming for most states, adding some unseasonal heating demand.Gas for May delivery was last seen up $0.04 to US$2.72 per million British thermal units.The rise comes as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service see most states between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River with cooler than seasonal temperatures over its six to 10 day outlook while near-term forecasts are also cool, adding some heating demand for the fuel."The weather data trended colder across the Midwest and Northeast going back to last week. This made the pattern not as bearish as national demand increases to seasonal April 25-May 2 and likely aided gains late last week and to open the new trading week," NatGasWeather noted.

U.S. Natural Gas Prices Fall in Week Ended April 15 Amid Warmer Temperatures, EIA Reports

The U.S. benchmark Henry Hub natural gas spot price fell US$0.05 to $2.75/million British thermal units in the week ended April 15, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report Supplement released Thursday.The price last Friday of $2.65/MMBtu was the lowest since June 2025, the EIA noted.U.S. natural gas demand dropped 6.8 billion cubic feet per day week over week, the agency said, citing LSEG Data. The decrease was mainly driven by a 31% reduction in demand from the residential and commercial sector.U.S. natural gas supply also decreased, primarily due to a 1% drop in dry production, according to the agency. On balance, average demand fell more than supply, contributing to lower spot natural gas prices.Temperatures were warmer across the U.S. during the report week, and the relatively comfortable conditions are reducing natural gas demand for heating and cooling, the EIA said.Also, net injections into storage amounted to 59 Bcf in the week ended April 10, resulting in total working gas stocks of 1,970 Bcf, the EIA reported. This was 108 Bcf more than the five-year average and 126 Bcf more than the year-ago period.The liquefied natural gas-carrying capacity of vessels departing U.S. ports was 133 Bcf in the week ended April 15, down 7 Bcf week over week. Thirty-five LNG vessels left the U.S., down two vessels from the previous week, the EIA said.

Natural Gas Edges Higher, But Remains Near an 18-Month Low on Light Spring Demand

Natural gas edged higher early Thursday ahead of fresh storage data, but remains near 18-month lows on light spring demand.Gas for May delivery was last seen up $0.01 to US$2,62 per million British thermal units after touching the lowest since August, 2024, earlier this week.Long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service see most states with seasonal or warmer temperatures over its six to 10 day outlook, limiting cooling and heating demand, while supply remains robust. "US natural gas production hit a new two-week low this week, falling to 102.6 Bcf/d and down 5 Bcf/d from Friday. Despite this pullback, production is still up 4.4% y/y, reflecting a loose balance, which itself led prices to their current, weaker, levels," Christopher Louney, a natural gas and gold strategist at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.The Energy Information Administration will release its weekly look at inventories of the fuel later on Wednesday morning. Celsius Energy is expecting the agency to report stocks rose by 55-billion cubic feet last week, the second-largest rise for the week over the past five years.
