Natural gas futures settled higher on June 19, 2020, as mid-range forecasts showed more heat in the Midwest and Northeast. The July Nymex contract closed at $1.669 per MMBtu, though LNG volumes stayed weak at around 3.8 Bcf.
Heat-driven cooling demand supports near-term gas prices, modestly raising energy input costs. Prices remain near the bottom of their trading range, so the impact on feed costs is limited.
After 221 past bullish weather events, Natural Gas moved a median +3.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -5.2% to +14.0%), and -0.3% over 20.
