Dec nat-gas prices retreated Thursday after weekly EIA supplies rose more than expected. The EIA reported that nat-gas inventories for the week of November 1 rose +69 bcf, which was above expectations of +68 bcf and more than twice the five-year average for this time of year of +32 bcf. A mixed weather forecast also weighed on nat-gas prices after Atmospheric G2 said Thursday that forecasts for the eastern half of the US swung cooler while the western part of the country moved warmer for November 12-16.
