NATGAS

US Henry Hub is falling back to reverse the gains seen yesterday as prices hold between a low of 1.96$/mmbtu and high of 2.38$/mmbtu so far this month. Healthy storage and steady production are balanced against above normal domestic demand with a decline in LNG export flows today adding to the downside pressure.

    • US Natgas MAY 23 down -3.9% at 2.18$/mmbtu
  • Front month May23 Henry Hub options are due to expire today.
  • The US weather forecast remains largely unchanged from yesterday with cold weather in eastern areas but above normal in the west. Domestic demand is again above normal today up to 71.88bcf/d compared to the seasonal normal of around 63bcf/d.
  • Flows to LNG export terminals are today estimated down at 13.7bcf/d according to Bloomberg driven mainly by a 0.8bcf/d drop in supply to Corpus Christi LNG.
  • Natural gas production as back down to 101.3bcf/d yesterday after reaching a high of 101.8bcf/d over the weekend.
