1521 ET - U.S. natural gas futures end the session with small gains but are lower on the week with the weather set to cool off in coming days, limiting power-sector demand. A recovery in LNG exports, higher cooling demand into early July and a widening storage deficit compared with last year may offer near-term support, Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics says in a note. Longer-term, upside obstacles include an inventory surplus over the five-year average, "conspicuously absent" durable summer heat east of the Rockies, and a coming wave of production growth in the Permain basin, he adds. Nymex natural gas settles up 1.1% at $3.120/mmBtu for a 3.4% weekly loss.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
