February NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract Closed at $3.960 on Wednesday, January 22nd

Wednesday, January 22nd saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $3.739, down $0.017 compared to Tuesday’s closing price of $3.756. Recording the intraday low of $3.734 within minutes of the opening bell, some analysts attributed the overnight sell-off to the coming end of the polar vortex. With news of the Freeport LNG terminals possibly returning to service, prices trended higher through the day, also taking into account forecasted heating demand increasing slightly for the beginning of February. Crossing midday at $3.898, contract rose to tally an intraday high of $3.979 at 2:15PM. The February contract closed higher on Wednesday at $3.960.

The EIA Natural Gas Storage Report is due out Thursday at 10:30AM. The report is expected to show a 245 BCF withdrawal from storage for the week ended January 17. This compares to a 277 BCF withdrawal this time last year and a five-year average withdrawal amount of 167 BCF.
