Natural Gas Climbs To 5-Week High Ahead Of EIA Storage Data - WSJ

Sept. 14, 2023 8:15 am ET

0808 ET – Natural gas prices rise 4.8% to $2.808/mmBtu, which if maintained would be the highest closing price since Aug. 9. The gains come ahead of a weekly EIA storage report at 10:30 am ET that analysts expect will show another below-average injection that could further narrow a storage surplus. A WSJ survey forecasts a 47 billion cubic feet injection versus the normal 76-bcf increase. If those forecasts are confirmed, that would trim a storage surplus from 7.6% above normal to 6.4% above normal. Gas prices collapsed earlier this year when the surplus widened to 24% above normal, but the market has steadily chipped away at that overhang in recent months. ( dan.molinski@wsj.com)
