U.S. Natural Gas Futures Hold Their Ground

Dow Jones07-17 20:41

0841 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are steady after recent declines on a milder weather outlook and soft LNG feedgas flows. "Natural gas appears to have found some footing as the market awaits a full return to service of the Freeport LNG terminal as well as more heat for the south and west next week," Gary Cunningham of Tradition Energy says in a note. The Nymex August contract will need "significant help" from the weather to get back toward the $3 level, "but the freefall towards $2.70 looks to have been belayed at least for now," he adds. Natural gas is up 0.1% at $2.861/mmBtu.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
