NATGAS
US Henry Hub easing back from gains seen late last week after volatility on Friday when service was restored at the Corinth Compressor Station in Mississippi following news of a fire earlier in the day. Recent upside moves have been limited by healthy production and high seasonal storage levels and a halt to the gradual increasing trend in LNG exports.
