A significantly hotter shift in some of the weather models was enough to help natural gas futures recover more than half of last week’s roughly 20-cent plunge. The July Nymex gas futures contract skyrocketed 11.7 cents on Monday to settle at $2.303. August jumped 11.5 cents to $2.284.
Another week without widespread heat left natural gas prices mixed for the June 17-21 period, with modest gains in much of the country taking a back seat to extreme weakness in California and Rockies. The NGI Spot Gas Weekly Avg.dropped 6 cents to $1.93.
Natural gas futures closed last week in positive territory, but only as a sign that the market stopped for a breather after Thursday’s dramatic plunge, not any renewed bullish momentum. After climbing as high as $2.222, the July Nymex gas futures contract settled Friday at $2.186, up one-tenth of a cent. Similarly modest shifts were seen throughout the curve.
