January Nymex natural gas (NGF24) on Monday closed down -0.120 (-4.26%).
Nat-gas prices Monday tumbled to a 2-1/4 month low and closed sharply lower as persistently weak domestic demand for nat-gas is boosting nat-gas inventories. Warmer-than-average U.S. temperatures are curbing heating demand for nat-gas and are weighing on prices. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said weather forecasts are "significantly warmer" in the northeast and southwest between Dec 9-12.
