# Natural-Gas Prices Turn Lower - WSJ

> US natural gas futures fell Monday as cooler-than-expected weather reduced gas-powered cooling demand toward the end of summer. October futures dropped as much as 6% intraday before settling down 1% at $2.63 per mmBtu. The decline followed a two-month rally driven by heat and rising LNG feed demand.

## Why it matters

Lower natural gas prices ease input costs for nitrogen fertilizer and grain drying, which modestly supports feed margins. The move is a routine weather-driven pullback rather than a supply shock.
