Forecasts of warmer-than-usual weather over the next several weeks are expected to generate higher demand for air cooling, which helped natural gas prices rise by 2.94% yesterday and settle at 196. The weather forecast encouraged market optimism because rising temperatures usually lead to a greater requirement for electricity generation for cooling purposes, increasing natural gas…
LSEG data indicates that despite forecasts of a steady rise, crude oil imports into Asia experienced a modest dip in the year’s first half. Over the first half of the year, Asian oil consumers imported 27.16 million barrels per day, according to the figures. Compared to a year ago, this was 130,000 bpd less. Notably,…
A fall in daily output and predictions of hotter-than-normal weather in late June caused natural gas prices to drop 1.62%, ultimately ending at 242.5. This decline was caused by profit bookings following previous increases. One factor influencing the market dynamics was the recovery of gas flow to LNG export facilities, especially after the reopening of…
Natural gas had a notable decrease of -2.73% yesterday, closing at 217, due to signs of increased driller extraction and worries about the large excess supply still in storage. Prices dropped in the face of a larger-than-expected build in storage, despite projections for higher demand in the next week and increased flow to liquefied natural…
Forecasts predicting higher demand over the next two weeks and increased flow to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants drove yesterday’s 0.21% increase in natural gas prices, which closed at 235.2. Prices jumped despite indications of heightened drilling activity and a notable excess supply in storage, underscoring the market’s susceptibility to supply dynamics and demand…
Due to expectations of increased demand over the next two weeks, natural gas saw a 4.02% increase in price yesterday, finishing at 186.3. The primary cause of this increase in demand was the increased feed gas to LNG export facilities, particularly with the reopening of Freeport LNG in Texas. A persistent drop in output has…
Due to outages at Freeport LNG’s Texas facility, ample gas supplies in storage, and lower expectations for gas flows to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants, natural gas prices fell 1.5% to settle at 150.9. Forecasts for milder weather over the next two weeks fueled the decline. Even lower than expected demand was the news…
With predictions of colder weather and higher heating demand over the next two weeks, natural gas saw a significant spike of 2.46% yesterday, closing at 141.7. This change in weather forecasts helped to boost market confidence, as did a persistent decline in U.S. output after petrol prices fell to a 3-1/2-year low in February. Due…
Chesapeake Energy announced a cut in its 2024 gas production estimates in response to the recent drop in gas prices to a 3.5-year low, which caused natural gas to see a significant jump, finishing up 11.84% at 147.4. This action by Chesapeake is part of a larger trend, as other gas producers like Antero Resources,…
Natural gas saw pressure from below, ultimately settling at 133.6, down -1.11% from the previous week’s close amid record output and a lower-than-anticipated storage depletion. Warmer-than-normal weather that reduced demand for heating caused U.S. utilities to withdraw 49 billion cubic feet of natural gas from storage during the week ending February 9, 2024, falling short…
