November Nymex natural gas (NGX23) on Thursday closed -0.033 (-0.98%).
Nat-gas prices on Thursday closed moderately lower as updated weather forecasts called for warmer U.S. temperatures, which will reduce heating demand for nat-gas. The Commodity Weather Group said above-normal temperatures are expected in the western U.S. from October 17-21, with mild temperatures in the central and northeastern U.S. Losses in nat-gas prices were limited Thursday by carryover support from a rally in European nat-gas prices to a 7-month high.
