U.S. Natural Gas Futures Sink Ahead of Storage Report -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-15

1513 ET - U.S. natural gas futures fall ahead of weekly inventory data that are expected to show an increase in the storage surplus over the five-year average. Weather could hardly be blamed for the drop "considering a colder pattern is finally arriving after very warm temperatures for much of the past 10 days," NatGasWeather.com says in a note. Lower LNG feedgas flows and expectations for a smaller-than-usual storage draw may have contributed, the forecaster says. Underground storage is expected to have declined by 87 Bcf last week, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts, compared with a five-year average draw of 146 Bcf. Nymex natural gas settles down 8.7% at $3.120/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
