1055 ET - U.S. natural gas inventories increased by less than usual and less than expected last week, according to data released by the EIA. Natural gas in underground storage was up by 95 billion cubic feet at 2,578 Bcf, reducing the surplus over the five-year average to 138 Bcf from 144 Bcf the week before. The net injection was smaller than the 2021-2025 average for the week of 101 Bcf, and below the 105 Bcf estimate in a WSJ survey of analysts. The build put stocks 3 Bcf below their year-earlier level. Nymex natural gas futures are up 3.4% at $3.324/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
