NATGAS
Henry Hub remains at intraday lows following a largely expected, but below-average US storage withdrawal last week. The front month also continues to face pressure from mixed weather forecasts.
- US Natgas JAN 25 down 6.1% at 3.26$/mmbtu
- US Natgas JUN 25 down 3.7% at 3.11$/mmbtu
- The EIA weekly gas inventories for the week ending Nov. 22 showed a withdrawal of 2bcf.
- This compares to the expectation for a withdrawal of 1bcf according to a Bloomberg survey, a 2bcf draw forecast in a WSJ survey, and a 1bcf build seen in a Reuters survey.
- The previous five-year average suggested a switch to withdrawals of around 30bcf.
- Total stocks are at 3,967bcf compared to the previous five-year average of 3,700bcf and 134bcf above levels seen a year ago.
