US natural gas futures fell after a storage build larger than expected and reports of planned maintenance at Freeport LNG in Texas. The outage reduces confidence in LNG feedgas demand at a time when the market needed exports to absorb supply.
A bigger-than-expected storage injection signals ample supply, while lower LNG exports remove a demand outlet. Both factors point to weaker natural gas prices.
After 62 past bearish report events, Natural Gas moved a median -3.0% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -7.6% to +4.6%), and -0.5% over 20.
