U.S. Natural Gas Falls As Market Frets Over Storage -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03:05

1505 ET - U.S. natural gas futures fall for a second session as the market takes in the bearish implications of last week's 103 Bcf inventory build, the earliest triple-digit injection on record. "The market had been grinding higher on the idea that a late season cool-down could keep demand closer to seasonal norms for a bit longer, but that support gave way once traders were forced to reconcile weather optimism with a build that looked far too heavy for April," Gelber & Associates says in a note. "The weather story has not disappeared, but it is being downgraded by a market that is now anchored to storage and the path of injections." Nymex natural gas settles down 3.5% at $2.523/mmBtu.
