Funds Raise Henry Hub Net Long Despite Futures Pull Back

HENRY HUB

GAS POSITIONING – Money managers increased net long positions on seven US Henry Hub contracts again last week to remain the most bullish since November according to the Commitments of Traders data released on Friday.

  • The rise is despite a continuation of the pullback in Henry hub futures from a high of $3.159/mmbtu on June 11 back to end of May levels driven by a recent recovery in US production and ongoing curtailment to US LNG export terminal feedgas flows.
  • Net positions of the weighted index of Nymex and ICE natural gas contracts rose by 15k to a net long of 152k according to Bloomberg but still below levels as high as 180k seen in Nov. 2023.
  • The short only position was the lowest level since November 2023.
    • US Natgas AUG 24 down 1.5% at 2.56$/mmbtu
