Monday, March 3rd saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $3.896, up $0.062 compared to Friday’s closing price of $3.834. Trading sideways through the morning, marking the intraday low of $3.886 at 9:35AM, prices rallied into midday due to short-covering and updated bullish weather forecasts. Ascending to the intraday high of $4.171 shortly after midday, the contract fluctuated along $4.140 throughout the afternoon. Finding additional support from low storage levels, April closed higher on Monday at $4.122.

The EIA Natural Gas Storage Report published last Thursday posted a 261 BCF withdrawal from storage for the week ended February 21 – below the market estimate of a 271 BCF withdrawal. Total working gas in storage was reported as 1,840 BCF; 23.4% below this time last year and 11.5% below the five-year average.
