1019 ET - U.S. natural gas prices edge up ahead of the EIA's weekly storage data that are expected to show a small build for last week, widening the inventory deficit for the first time in five weeks. Analysts in a Wall Street Journal survey predict an injection of 23 billion cubic feet to 1,853 Bcf, compared with a five-year average increase for the week of 50 Bcf. Nymex natural gas is up 0.3% at $3.256/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
