July Nymex natural gas (NGN24) on Thursday closed down -0.094 (-3.53%).
July nat-gas prices Thursday dropped to a 2-week low and closed moderately lower after weekly nat-gas inventories rose more than expected. The EIA reported Thursday that nat-gas inventories for the week ended May 24 rose +84 bcf, above expectations of +78 bcf. A mixed weather outlook also undercut nat-gas prices after NatGasWeather said the eastern part of the US is expected to see moderate temperatures from June 6-13, which would curb nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air-conditioning.
