Futures Hold Price Level Following Anticipated 96 Bcf Injection
Traders were mostly unfazed Thursday morning as the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that 96 Bcf was injected into underground storage for the week ended May 4, which was right in line with industry estimates. As a result, June natural gas traded in another tight range on the day before settling at $7.726, up less than a penny on the day.
Storage Build Passes Quietly; Traders Eye Winter Month Price Breakout
The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Thursday morning report that 23 Bcf was injected into underground storage for the week ended April 6 received little fanfare from traders as May natural gas futures traded a slim 9-cent range before settling at $7.924, up 6.9 cents on the day. Instead, attention was paid to the winter 2008 contracts, some of which have recently cracked the $10 price level.
Futures Test Lower Price Levels Following 22 Bcf Withdrawal
While the report that 22 Bcf was withdrawn from storage for the week ended March 23 came in a little larger than most industry estimates, the number was still below historical withdrawals for the week, which allowed bears the opportunity to cut some of the last week’s natural gas futures gains. May natural gas closed 6.3 cents lower Thursday at $7.609.

Futures Settle Fifth Straight Session Higher Despite 73 Bcf Storage Build
Coming in within the high-end of the industry’s expectations, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported Thursday morning that 73 Bcf was injected into underground storage for the week ended Sept. 29, which brings working gas levels to a robust 3,327 Bcf. Despite the healthy-sized storage injection, November natural gas futures pushed higher on the day — settling at $6.298, up 30.3 cents.
Storage Glut Continues Following 108 Bcf Injection
