July Nymex natural gas (NGN24) on Wednesday closed down by -0.084 (-2.68%).
July nat-gas prices Wednesday retreated on the outlook for ample US nat-gas supplies to continue despite hot weather. As of May 31, US nat-gas inventories were up +13.5% y/y and were +25.1% above their 5-year seasonal average. The consensus is for Thursday's weekly EIA nat-gas inventories to climb by +76 bcf, which will help keep inventories elevated.
