December Nymex natural gas (NGZ24) on Wednesday closed sharply higher by +0.195 (+6.50%)
Dec nat-gas prices Wednesday extended this week's sharp rally to a 10-month nearest-futures high. The outlook for sharply colder temperatures toward the end of the month that will boost heating demand for nat-gas is pushing prices sharply higher. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Wednesday that forecasts shifted colder for the central and eastern US with a risk of a polar blast of temperatures for the November 25-29 period.
