NATGAS
Henry Hub has erased some of its earlier gains, although continues to trade down on the day. Losses follow concerns that Tropical Storm Francine could disrupt both power demand and LNG feedgas flows, leaving gas with fewer outlets.
- US Natgas OCT 24 down 3.1% at 2.2$/mmbtu
- US Natgas MAR 25 down 0.4% at 2.93$/mmbtu
- US LNG export terminal feedgas flows are today holding near the highest since the start of June at 13.4bcf/d today, according to Bloomberg.
- Domestic natural gas demand is holding near the lowest since mid-June at 70.8bcf/d today but still just above the previous five-year seasonal average.
