April Nymex natural gas (NGJ25) on Thursday closed down -0.148 (-3.33%).
April nat-gas prices on Thursday retreated after weekly EIA nat-gas supplies fell less than expected. The EIA reported that nat-gas inventories for the week ended February 28 fell -80 bcf, a smaller draw than expectations of -93 bcf. The outlook for warmer US weather that will curb heating demand for nat-gas also weighed on nat-gas prices. On Thursday, forecaster Atmospheric G2 said that the eastern two-thirds of the US is expected to see spring-like warmth for March 11-15.
