June Nymex natural gas (NGM24) on Monday closed up by +0.053 (+2.47%).
June nat-gas prices on Monday rallied to a 3-1/2 month nearest-futures high and closed moderately higher. Gas prices have carryover support from last Friday when Baker Hughes reported that the number of active US nat-gas drilling rigs in the week ending May 3 fell by -3 rigs to a 2-1/2 year low, which signals a reduction in US nat-gas production in the near term.
