Dow Jones12-18 04:17

1517 ET - U.S. natural gas futures snap a four-session losing streak, with the winter weather outlook remaining the main focus. "Buying was aided by the overnight weather data trending 6-7 HDDs [heating degree days] colder, but more likely due to a technically oversold bounce," NatGasWeather.com says in a note. The EIA's weekly storage report tomorrow is expected to a show stocks down by 169 Bcf, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts. That would be a second straight triple-digit decline and cut the inventory surplus over the five-year average to 30 Bcf from 103 Bcf the previous week. Nymex natural gas settles up 3.6% at $4.024/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
