February Nymex natural gas (NGG25) on Wednesday closed up sharply by +0.204 (+5.43%).
Feb nat-gas prices Wednesday recovered from a 1-1/2 week low and rallied sharply as updated weather forecasts turned much colder for the beginning of next month, which will boost heating demand for nat-gas. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Wednesday that forecasts moved significantly colder in the central and western parts of the US for February 1-5.
