Natural Gas Rises Ahead of Storage Data Despite Mild Long-Term Forecasts

Natural gas was higher early Thursday ahead of fresh storage data despite mild forecasts for big eastern markets.In its first day as the active contract, gas for July delivery was up $0.15 to US$3.04 per million British thermal units.The rise comes even as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect eastern markets to be seasonal or cooler over its six to 10 day outlook, cutting into cooling demand."Weather remains a risk with the northeast, which suffered a heat wave just a week ago, now looking like some late season overnight heating demand could actually be in the cards. Southern US power demands have been muted over the past few days but should increase before the end of the week," Gary Cunningham, Director of Market Research at Tradition Energy, wrote.The Energy Information Administration will release its weekly look at U.S. inventories of the fuel, with a lighter than usual rise expected."For today's EIA weekly storage report, survey averages suggest a build of +93-95 Bcf, slightly smaller than the 5-year average of +97 Bcf. There was record breaking heat over the East last week, while it was cooler than normal across the Northwest, Mtn West, and Plains. We expect a build of +87 Bcf and to the bullish side due to lighter solar generation and East Coast heat," NatGasWeather noted.

Natural Gas Rises as Forecast Expect a Hot Start to June

Natural gas prices rose early Tuesday as long-term forecasts warm.Gas for June delivery was last seen up $0.04 to US$2.94 per million British thermal units.The rise comes as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect hotter than seasonal temperatures for most states other than the Southeast over its six to 10 day outlook, keeping cooling demand high.Still, high inventories of the fuel are weighing on prices, with the Energy Information Administration last week reporting gas stocks stood at 6.6% above the five-year average, keeping prices rangebound."Storage levels are adding to the bearish sentiment as LNG export terminals remain in maintenance allowing us to inject a little extra and hold a surprise surplus to both last year and the 5 year average levels for this time of year," Gary Cunningham, Director of Market Research at Tradition Energy, wrote.

Natural Gas Trading Lower on Cooler Forecasts and Lower Demand

Natural gas prices eased early Friday on cooling long-term forecasts and lower demand.Gas for June delivery was last seen down $0.05 to US$2.97 per million British thermal units.The drop comes as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service see most states with seasonal or cooler temperatures over its six to 10 day outlook, though states in the big markets of the Northeast and Upper Midwest will be hotter than usual, offering a boost to cooling demand. However LNG demand is weak as facilities begin seasonal maintenance."Production fell off at the start of the week, somewhat offset by depressed demand from LNG feedstock, which hit shoulder season lows as multiple terminals on the coast, including Freeport, Golden Pass, and Cameron, have confirmed ongoing maintenance activities in May," Christopher Louney, a natural gas and gold strategist at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.
