US Natgas Surges 10% on Colder Weather and Higher LNG Flows

NATGAS

US Natgas surges up 10% on stronger domestic and overseas demand. There has been a shift in the weather forecast towards cold with below normal temperatures expected across the whole US from Nov 12 according to the NOAA forecast.

  • US Natgas DEC 22 up 10.2% at 7.05$/mmbtu
  • Current lower 48 dry gas consumption has increased from last week but is still just below normal at around 70bcf/d.
  • Higher LNG export flows are also supporting US prices with supplies to Sabine Pass recovering after maintenance to a feed gas pipeline last week. Sabine Pass LNG deliveries increased by 0.7bcf/d taking total US LNG export deliveries up to 11.9bcf/d.
  • Gas exports to Mexico have however fallen with today estimated at 5.6bcf/d to offset some of the higher LNG flows.
  • US natural gas production has also dipped slightly with the weekend estimated back below 100bcf/d at around 99.3bcf/d.
