July Nymex natural gas (NGN26) on Monday fell -0.082 (-2.54%).
Nat-gas prices tumbled to a 1-week low on Monday and settled sharply lower. Prices fell Monday as shifting US weather forecasts to milder conditions in the second half of June could reduce nat-gas demand from electricity providers to generate power for air-conditioning. On Monday, forecaster Vaisala said forecasts shifted cooler in the eastern two-thirds of the US for June 13-17, and forecasts also trended cooler for June 18-22.
