Henry Hub Supported by Larger than Expected US Storage Draw

NATGAS

US Henry Hub is stronger in reaction to a larger than expected draw in US gas storage inventories according to the latest EIA data.

  • The EIA weekly gas inventories for the week ending Mar. 8 showed a draw of 9bcf compared to the expectation for a draw of 2bcf according to a Bloomberg survey and the seasonal normal draw of -99bcf.
  • The smaller than normal draw is driven by the recent warm weather and is maintaining a strong US inventory surplus towards the end of the winter heating season. Total stocks are at 2,325bcf compared to the previous five year average of 1,688bcf.
    • US Natgas APR 24 up 2.3% at 1.7$/mmbtu
