> Henry Hub natural gas for November delivery rose as much as 10.7% to $5.844/mmBtu on forecasts of chilly November weather in the US East. The widowmaker spread widened to $1.481, signaling concern about end-of-winter inventories. LNG feedgas flows reached 11.3 Bcf/d, the highest since May, after Freeport LNG resumed operations.
