U.S. Natural Gas Settles Lower in Volatile Session -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04:01

1501 ET - U.S. natural gas futures give up early gains and settle lower in volatile trade. The EIA reported a 167 Bcf drop in natural gas inventories, close to market expectations, which reduced the surplus over the five-year average to 32 Bcf from 103 Bcf the previous week. "Based on early expectations for next week's report, inventories have a strong chance of falling behind the five-year average," Andy Huenefeld of Pinebrook Energy Advisors says in a note. But smaller storage draws are likely for the last two weeks of December, and "inventories will likely be able to build back their cushion to the five-year average." Nymex natural gas settles down 2.9% at $3.908/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
