Natural Gas – Week In Review

*Natural gas report week, May 26 2022.*

This week’s injection of 80 Bcf was at the low end of analysts’ expectations which ranged from 76-103 Bcf. Despite a slight drop in production over last week and increases in both heating-related consumption and LNG demand, storage has continued a slow crawl out of its deficit to the five-year average.

June trading moved off the books Thursday, May 26th, settling the month at $8.908/Dth. In comparison, June 2021 settled at $2.984/Dth. If you’re inclined to think we’ve seen the ceiling, consider in 2008, June settled at $11.916/Dth and July followed up at $13.105/Dth.

As the supply/demand balance remains tight and the hottest weather of the season, thus far, is forecast for the northeastern half of the country next week, it’s reasonable to expect continued volatility.
