September Nymex natural gas (NGU25) on Tuesday closed down -0.124 (-4.29%).
Sep nat-gas prices on Tuesday plunged to a 9.25-month nearest-futures low and settled sharply lower on forecasts for cooler US weather and the outlook for higher US nat-gas production. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Tuesday that forecasts shifted cooler across the eastern two-thirds of the US and Southwest for August 24-29, which will curb nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air conditioning.
