U.S. gas storage fields withdrew 219 Bcf in the week ended Jan. 21, the largest draw of the winter and above the five-year average of 161 Bcf.
Storage now sits 10.6% below the year-ago level, and Henry Hub prompt prices reached a 14-year high.
Larger-than-expected storage draws signal tight supply amid cold weather, supporting higher natural gas prices. Higher gas costs raise fertilizer, drying and processing expenses that feed through to feed prices.
