U.S. natural gas futures rose 7.34% on Monday to a four-week high as forecasts turned cooler across the central and eastern United States through November 20. Record LNG-terminal flows of 21.6 bcf per day also supported prices by drawing gas from domestic supply, while funds held a record net-short position.
Colder weather can lift heating demand, and stronger LNG exports reduce gas available to domestic buyers; both support prices. The crowded short position may amplify moves if traders cover.
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.
