The EIA's November STEO expects about 70 billion cubic feet more US gas in storage at end-November than previously forecast. It cut its Henry Hub forecast for November through March to an average of $2.87/MMBtu, 16% below last month's view, and raised its diesel and gasoline price forecasts.
A bigger storage cushion and lower Henry Hub outlook point to cheaper US gas, which eases feed-processing and fertilizer costs. The higher fuel price outlook partly offsets that for transport and drying costs.
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.
