March Nymex natural gas (NGH26) on Tuesday closed down by -0.070 (-2.35%).
March nat-gas prices tumbled to a 4.25-month nearest-futures low on Tuesday and settled sharply lower. The outlook for warmer US temperatures, which will reduce nat-gas heating demand, is weighing on prices. On Tuesday, the Commodity Weather Group said forecasts shifted warmer, with above-normal temperatures expected across the western half of the US through the end of the month. Also, high US nat-gas production and warmer weather are expected to turn the current US nat-gas storage deficit into a surplus in the coming weeks.
