April Nymex natural gas (NGJ25) on Wednesday closed up +0.021 (+0.55%).
April nat-gas prices Wednesday posted modest gains as prices consolidated above Tuesday's 3-week low. However, nat gas prices were undercut by expectations for above-normal early-spring temperatures that will curb heating demand for nat-gas. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Wednesday that forecasts shifted much warmer in the eastern half of the US for March 31-April 4, while the western and central parts of the US moved cooler.
