U.S. Natural Gas Futures Post Daily Gain, Weekly Loss -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04:14

1514 ET - U.S. natural gas futures continue to trade in an up-and-down pattern after last week's big selloff, settling higher with a slight cooldown in midday weather runs. "The broader picture in the U.S. market remains tilted to the downside," Rania Gule of XS.com says in a note. "Weather, the primary driver of winter gas demand, has yet to provide the support needed to build a sustainable upward trend." With temperatures expected to be above-average for the latter part of December, "the absence of clear signals for a strong cold wave in early January leaves any current upside fragile and prone to quick reversals," Gule adds. Nymex natural gas settles up 1.9% at $3.984/mmBtu for a 3.1% loss on the week. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
