September Nymex natural gas (NGU23) on Wednesday closed -0.083 (-3.24%).
Nat-gas prices Wednesday extended Tuesday's losses to a 6-week low and settled moderately lower. Gas prices are under pressure on the outlook for cooler weather in the Midwest and East Coast, which would reduce nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power air conditioning. Forecaster Maxar Technologies said cooler temperatures are expected to move into the Midwest and East Coast between August 7-11.
