U.S. Natural Gas Futures Gain Ground -- Market Talk
Dow Jones05-13 21:51
0951 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are higher, fluctuating from one day to the next as the market weighs fading heating demand against a gradual pickup in cooling needs. "The lower price environment in 2026 is leading to higher utilization of gas-fired generation assets across the country, increasing gas consumption on a weather-normalized basis," Andy Huenefeld of Pinebrook Energy Advisors says in a note. "Demand from this sector looks poised to continue outpacing year-ago levels, which could limit storage growth into the peak summer months." Nymex natural gas is up 2.5% at $2.914/mmBtu.
