1533 ET - Natural gas futures extend their winning streak to three sessions as warmer weather forecasts point to a pick-up in demand. Gains are driven by heat "building across the South and expanding into the East, which raises power-burn expectations and gives the front of the curve a firmer footing after a choppy stretch of spring trade," Gelber & Associates says in a note. "The market is testing whether early season heat can carry through long enough to keep June supported, or whether mild breaks later in the outlook allow supply comfort to reassert itself." Nymex natural gas for June delivery settles up 2.3% at $2.96/mmBtu, up 7.4% from a week ago.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
