Utilities Shares Fall Amid Declining Natural Gas Prices

Dow Jones06:42

Stocks in the utilities sector fell amid weak natural gas prices despite high temperatures boosting demand for cooling.

The U.S. power sector has been using less natural gas amid an increasing supply of renewables, according to NatGasWeather.com.

Natural gas inventories likely had a normal-sized build last week, leaving the storage surplus over the five-year average practically unchanged, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts.
