U.S. Natural Gas Futures Little Changed on Week -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-09

1501 ET - U.S. natural gas futures give up early gains to end the week practically flat in low-volatility shoulder-season trade. "The market continues to balance a rapidly fading heating season against the first meaningful signs of summer cooling demand," Gelber & Associates says in a note. Pipeline exports to Mexico are supportive near 7.5 Bcf/d "with forecasts pointing higher into the middle of May as cooling demand builds south of the border," the firm says. Focus is on whether coming heat drives enough power-sector demand to offset a collapse in heating demand. Nymex natural gas slips 0.4% to $2.757/mmBtu, down 0.8% from a week ago.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
