1054 ET - U.S. natural gas futures head lower as the EIA reports a smaller-than-expected inventory withdrawal for last week. Gas in underground storage fell by 80 billion cubic feet to 1,760 Bcf, compared with expectations of a 98 Bcf draw in a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts. The deficit against the five-year average narrowed to 224 Bcf from 238 Bcf the week before, but widened against the year-ago level to 585 Bcf from 561 Bcf. The Nymex front month is down 2.8% at $4.325/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
