U.S. Natural Gas Gets Little Help From Jump in Oil -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-02 20:57

0857 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are modestly higher but getting little lift from the jump in crude oil and European natural gas prices following President Trump's speech on Iran. U.S. prices are restrained by limited capacity to increase LNG exports to markets around the world, Ritterbusch & Associates says in a note. "Eventually, increased infrastructure will boost the ability of LNG exports to lift significantly, and prices will advance as this year proceeds," the firm says. The EIA's weekly storage report due at 10:30 ET is expected to show a 22 Bcf injection, according to a WSJ survey of analysts, which would increase the inventory surplus over the five-year average. Nymex gas is up 1.2% at $2.852/mmBtu.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
