February NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract Closed at $3.354 on Friday, January 3rd

Friday, January 3rd saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $3.469, down $0.191 compared to Thursday’s closing price of $3.660. Reaching the intraday high of $3.503 by 9:45AM, prices withdrew to trade near $3.435 ahead of the delayed storage publication. Posting additional losses following the weak storage pull, a bearish shift to weather forecasts piled on to subdue the contract for the duration of the session. Marking the intraday low of $3.330 at 1:25PM, February closed lower on Friday at $3.354.

The EIA Natural Gas Storage Report published last Friday showed a 116 BCF withdrawal from storage for the week ended December 27 – below the market estimate of a 127 BCF withdrawal. Total working gas in storage was reported as 3,413 BCF; 1.9% below this time last year and 4.7% above the five-year average.

As of 7:00AM this morning in Globex, WTI Crude was up $0.270; Natural Gas was up $0.310; Heating Oil was up $0.020, and Gasoline was up $0.007.
