  • The Bloomberg survey average suggests a draw of -122bcf on the week compared to the seasonal normal draw of -160bcf.
  • The BNEF samples-based model predicts a withdrawal of -126bcf while the weather-based supply and demand model predicts a withdrawal of -125bcf.

  • Cold weather has driven US continental gas heating degree days for Jan up from 902 on Dec 30 to 959 on Jan 10 and above the 10 year normal of 919.
  • Supply is expected to have increased slightly by 0.4bcf/d to 91.5bcf/d on the week with consumption up by 16.0bcf/d to 109.3bcf/d driven residential and commercial and power gen demand.
