-- Natural gas traded lower early Wednesday as mild temperatures continue to check cooling demand.
Gas for June delivery was last seen down $0.05 to US$2.64 per million British thermal units.
The drop comes as cool forecasts keep demand for electricity to power air conditions low, checking the call on supply from generators.
Long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service offer little hope for a jump in demand, with the agency's sox to 14 day forecast expecting nearly all states east of the Rocky Mountains to have cooler than seasonal weather over the period.
