April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Wednesday closed up +0.009 (+0.31%).
Nat-gas prices recovered from a 3.5-week low on Wednesday and settled slightly higher after Iran rejected a peace plan from the US, which could keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and curtail nat-gas supplies from the Middle East. Nat-gas prices initially moved lower on Wednesday amid forecasts for above-normal US weather, which could reduce nat-gas heating demand. On Wednesday, the Commodity Weather Group said forecasts shifted warmer, with above-average temperatures expected across the US through April 3.
