US NATGAS

Henry Hub Mar25 is regaining some ground today from a low of $3.06/mmbtu yesterday ahead of the updated EIA storage data and following the Feb. contract expiry yesterday.

  • The EIA weekly gas inventories for the week ending Jan. 24 will be released this afternoon at 10:30 ET (15:30BST). The expectation is for a draw of 315bcf according to a Bloomberg survey following a draw of 223bcf the previous week. The seasonal normal is a draw of around 189bcf.
  • Lower 48 natural gas demand is today below normal for only the second day this year at 95.7bcf/d, according to Bloomberg. The NOAA 6-14 day forecast is relatively unchanged on the day with above normal temperatures forecast in the south.  Average Lower 48 temperatures suggest potential for cooler temperatures in the second week of Feb.
