U.S. Natural Gas Futures Rise on Weather-Driven Demand -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-31 04:13

1513 ET - U.S. natural gas futures post solid gains as continuing cold weather keeps near-term demand expectations high while production hasn't fully recovered from major freeze-offs early in the week. Nymex gas for March delivery, which moved to the front of the curve at a big discount to February, settles up 11% at $4.354/mmBtu. The storage outlook is bullish with the surplus over the five-year average likely to swing to a 100 Bcf deficit with next week's report, NatGasWeather.com says in a note. "And with frigid temperatures continuing this weekend, the following draw will also be larger than normal."(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
