U.S. Natural Gas Retreats Ahead of Long Weekend -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-16

0955 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are lower in cautious trade ahead of the long weekend with the market vulnerable to swings in the weather outlook. Colder temperatures for the second half of January are likely to lift demand, with inventory surpluses as a counterweight. The below-average 71 Bcf storage withdrawal for last week left stocks 106 Bcf or 3.4% above the five-year average. "It appears that a triple-digit surplus will remain to kick off the month of February when the weather factor will begin to diminish in importance," Ritterbusch and Associates says in a note. Nymex gas for February delivery is off 1.3% at $3.087/mmBtu.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
