European natural gas fell to its lowest level since June as the EU prepared measures to curb volatility in the region's largest market. Benchmark futures dropped 9.9% on mild weather, steady LNG inflows and high winter stockpiles.
Europe's high stockpiles and LNG arrivals are pulling gas prices down, lowering fertilizer and energy costs for feed makers. Pending EU intervention adds uncertainty to the price path.
After 104 past bearish weather events, Natural Gas moved a median -7.8% over 5 sessions (22% higher; middle half -14.8% to -0.8%), and -3.3% over 20.
