The headline reports a 5% decline in US natural gas futures following the lifting of a force majeure.
Front-month US gas futures rose 3.1 cents to settle at $3.066 per mmBtu, their highest close since Sept. 25, as demand forecasts increased and output slipped due to a force majeure on Enbridge's Texas Eastern pipeline in Kentucky. The November-December spread also fell to a record low.
November gas futures fell 3.1% to $3.011 per mmBtu as forecasts pointed to lower near-term demand and expectations of higher output grew. LSEG said US demand is seen rising next week, while storage surplus is expected to narrow to 2.4% above the five-year average.
November gas futures fell 2.0% to $3.043 per mmBtu as forecasts pointed to weaker demand this week and higher output after the Mountaineer XPress pipeline returned to service. Analysts estimated US gas inventories at 2.4% above the five-year average for the week ended September 25.
