NATGAS: Funds Raised Net Long Henry Hub Position in Week to Aug 6

NATGAS

GAS POSITIONING – Funds increased net long positions on seven US Henry Hub contracts in the week to Aug 6 according to the Commitments of Traders data released on Friday.

  • Net positions of the weighted index of Nymex and ICE natural gas contracts rose by 18k to a net long of 151k, according to Bloomberg.
  • The positioning is just below the most bullish since November seen at the end of June. Front month futures fell to $1.882/mmbtu on Aug 5 but have since rallied amid stronger global gas markets driven by geopolitics and supported by lower US production and below average storage injections.
  • Managed money Nymex Henry Hub futures and options rose 2k on the week to a net short of 52k with a small increase in both long and short positions, according to the Nymex disaggregated data.
