Natural gas futures give back some of last week's gains as temperatures are expected to stay milder-then-normal through the end of the month, limiting demand for heating fuel and contributing to smaller-than-usual draws on storage.

Natural gas for January delivery, which expires Wednesday, settles down 2.3% at $2.550/mmBtu.
