December Nymex natural gas (NGZ25) on Friday closed down -0.042 (-0.96%).
Dec nat-gas prices settled lower on Friday as forecasts of mild US weather could curb heating demand for nat-gas. Forecaster G2 said Friday that warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected in the western two-thirds of the US for November 12-16 and are expected to remain above-normal for November 17-21. Nat-gas prices extended their losses Friday on the outlook for higher US nat-gas production after a weekly report from Baker Hughes showed active US nat-gas rigs increased to a 2.25-year high.
