NATGAS: Henry Hub Falls on Storm Risk to LNG Exports

NATGAS

Henry Hub prices are pulling back from gains seen last week driven by risk to LNG export flows as a tropical storm and potential hurricane approaches the northwestern U.S. Gulf Coast by the middle of the week.

  • 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. The NOAA 6-14 day forecast shows above normal temperatures in central and eastern areas throughout but below normal in the west.
  • US domestic natural gas production has drifted down to 101.4bcf/d yesterday, according to Bloomberg, compared to an average of 101.8bcf/d so far in September and an average of 102.5bcf/d in August.
  • Export flows to Mexico are today estimated down slightly at 6.85bcf/d, according to Bloomberg.
  • Nymex Henry Hub daily aggregate traded futures volume was 328k on Sep 6.
    • US Natgas OCT 24 down 3.7% at 2.19$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas MAR 25 down 1.2% at 2.9$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas SEP 25 down 1.2% at 3.12$/mmbtu
