U.S. Natural Gas Futures Ease from 7-Year High

Ahead of the official storage report, U.S. natural gas future contracts slipped on Thursday due to pressures by forecasts for estimated slightly lower demand next week.

The market took a breather from its recent racing ahead of the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) weekly storage report.
There has been a significant racing over the previous two weeks, thus Thursday’s move is a small profit-taking ahead of the storage number.

“Working gas in storage was 3,006 Bcf as of Friday, September 10, 2021. This represents a net increase of 83 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 595 Bcf less than last year at this time and 231 Bcf below the five-year average of 3,237 Bcf. At 3,006 Bcf, total working gas is within the five-year historical range”, Thursday’s report said.
