Tuesday, April 7th saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $1.798, nearly seven cents above Monday’s closing price of $1.731. Slipping to an intraday low of $1.785 out of the gate, prices then mounted a staggered ascent that would span into the afternoon. Crossing midday at $1.818, the contract trended higher once again as below average temperatures cover much of the country and production has slowed. Peaking at a three-week intraday high of $1.860 at 1:10PM, May closed higher on Tuesday at $1.852.
As of 7:50AM EST this morning in Globex, WTI Crude was up 82 cents; Natural Gas was up three cents; Heating Oil was up slightly; and Gasoline was down slightly.
