US natural gas futures rose about 3% to $3.065 per MMBtu on Monday after bullish weather forecasts pointed to higher heating demand over the next two weeks. Traders also awaited storage data expected to show a build of 11 to 21 bcf, with total stocks 4.5% below year-ago levels.
Colder forecasts raise expected winter demand for gas, supporting prices, while storage builds below the five-year average keep the market tight. Feed-relevant effects are indirect through natural gas costs for ethanol, DDGS and fertilizer inputs.
