# US natural gas prices make gains

> US natural-gas futures rose about 2% on Friday to a two-week high, with the December contract reaching $2.992 per mmBtu. Cooler-weather forecasts for late November, record gas flows to LNG export plants, and lower recent production supported prices, while storage remained above the five-year average.
