November Nymex natural gas jumped as much as 6-9% on October 20 to its highest level in a week, ending a two-week losing streak. The move followed forecasts of dramatically colder temperatures across the central and eastern U.S. for late October and early November.
Earlier-than-usual storage withdrawals are projected as heating demand rises, which tightens the supply cushion and supports gas prices. Higher natural gas costs raise energy expenses for feed and grain processing.
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.
