U.S. Natural Gas Futures Gain Ground -- Market Talk

Dow Jones09-27 21:46

0946 ET - U.S. natural gas futures move higher as the November contract takes the front month position. Short-term market focus is on the impact of tropical cyclone Helene, which shut in some production in the Gulf but also knocked out power to millions in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. The EIA's report of a smaller-than-expected increase in natural gas storage "seems to be taking precedence," Dennis Kissler of BOK Financial says in a note. "Seasonally natural gas futures normally trend higher into early November, and while the latest storm will hamper near-term demand, the remaining heat forecast for the better 2/3 of the U.S. will pull more than average on the grid," he adds. Natural gas is up 2.8% at $2.831/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
