February NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract Closed at $3.701 on Thursday, January 9th

Thursday, January 9th saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $3.663, up $0.012 compared to Wednesday’s closing price of $3.651. Recording the intraday low of $3.655, prices trended higher through the morning as persistent cold grips much of the country and pipeline freeze-offs hinder production. Crossing midday at $3.757, the contract rose to tally the intraday high of $3.830 at 12:35PM. Avoiding over-bought territory, February pulled back to finish the day, closing higher on Thursday at $3.701.

The EIA Natural Gas Storage Report published on Wednesday showed a 40 BCF withdrawal from storage for the week ended January 3 – below the market estimate of a 48 BCF withdrawal. Total working gas in storage was reported as 3,373 BCF; 0.1% below this time last year and 6.4% above the five-year average.

As of 6:50AM this morning in Globex, WTI Crude was up $2.520; Natural Gas was up $0.155; Heating Oil was up $0.097, and Gasoline was up $0.059.
