Bullish momentum picks up ahead of increased cooling demand.
- Natural gas futures rallied sharply as July took over as prompt month, with summer pricing pushing further above $3.00 per MMBtu.
- The EIA reported a 92-Bcf storage injection, slightly below the five-year average and well below last year’s build for the same week.
- LNG exports are recovering from seasonal maintenance and should move closer to demonstrated capacity levels as outages wind down.
- Weather is turning more supportive as normal cooling demand ramps into June, though the latest forecast still lacks a major heat event across key demand regions.
