July natural gas was set to open 5 cents higher at $2.22 as the first heat wave of the season arrived. Traders saw large speculative funds reconsidering their short positions, and analysts expected higher California power demand as triple-digit temperatures were forecast.
Heat-driven power demand and possible short covering can lift natural gas prices, which feeds into fertilizer and energy costs for feed producers. The move was described as a short-term rally rather than a durable fundamental shift.
