May Nymex natural gas (NGK26) on Wednesday closed down -0.065 (-2.25%).
Nat-gas prices fell to a 5-week nearest-futures low on Wednesday as recent above-normal spring temperatures have reduced nat-gas heating demand and allowed storage levels to build. The consensus is that Thursday's weekly EIA nat-gas inventories rose +38 bcf for the week ended March 27, well above the five-year average for the week of a -4 bcf draw.
