Tariff-Spurred ‘Forced Selling’ Ebbs as Natural Gas Futures Slow Declines
Nymex natural gas futures fell for a second day Friday as trade war risks kept traders in a defensive stance. Futures, though, pared declines and briefly traded positive as the market kept an eye on record U.S. LNG exports and coming summer demand as potential bullish catalysts.

At A Glance:
- LNG exports near record levels
- North America cuts 22 rigs
- National Avg. falls to two-week low
