May Nymex natural gas (NGK25) on Wednesday closed up sharply by +0.351 (+10.13%).
May nat-gas prices on Wednesday rebounded from a 2-month low and rallied sharply after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariff for 56 countries, which boosted risk sentiment and prompted short covering in nat-gas futures. Another supportive factor for nat-gas prices was forecasts for cooler US weather, which will boost heating demand for nat-gas. The Commodity Weather Group said Wednesday that forecasts shifted cooler from the Midwest to the eastern US for April 14-18.
