what happened
U.S. natural gas futures moved lower in early trading after weather-related demand eased over the weekend. Dow Jones Newswires reports that demand lost because of Hurricane Isaias is recovering, while supplies taken offline could require several days to return completely, according to Gary Cunningham of Tradition Energy.
The late-Friday rally triggered by news about the storm’s impact has largely faded, Cunningham said in a note. He expects the market to move back toward a fundamental range of $3.07 to $3.17, with upside risk if damage is found at a key offshore facility.
Nymex natural gas was down 2.3% at $3.146/mmBtu.
why it matters
The move indicates that part of the weather-related premium has unwound. Trading may still reflect uncertainty over the timing of supply restoration and whether the storm damaged important offshore infrastructure.
