U.S. Natural Gas Futures Fall With Storage Data in View -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
17 Apr

1536 ET - U.S. natural gas futures fall as the market looks beyond tomorrow's EIA storage report, which is expected to show a below-average injection, to larger inventory builds in subsequent weeks. Still, with the decline in futures pricing over the past month, there's less economic incentive to bring new production online and less potential for gas-to-coal fuel switching in the power generation sector, Andy Huenefeld of Pinebrook Energy Advisors says in a note. "This dynamic exacerbates fundamental market risk in the coming months and could lead to lighter storage growth than initially expected this summer." Nymex natural gas settles down 2.5% at $3.247/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
