January Nymex natural gas (NGF24) on Tuesday closed down -0.120 (-4.94%), adding to Monday's -5.81% plunge.
Nat-gas prices Tuesday extended Monday's plunge, posting a new 6-month nearest-futures low as early winter U.S. temperatures are forecast to remain above average into January, curbing heating demand for nat-gas. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said above-normal temperatures are expected to dominate most of North America for at least the next ten days and beyond.
