Natural gas futures fell about 4% below $3 per MMBtu after an EIA report showed a 206 Bcf storage drawdown for the week ending December 29, smaller than the 221 Bcf analysts expected. Total stocks stood at 3.126 trillion cubic feet, below the year-earlier level and the five-year average.
A smaller-than-expected draw signals looser supply than the market anticipated, which pressured prices lower. Stocks still sit below the five-year average, so the sell-off may be limited if cold persists.
Setelah 62 peristiwa laporan bearish sebelumnya, Gas Alam bergerak median -3,0% selama 5 sesi (42% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -7,6% sampai +4,6%), dan -0,5% selama 20 sesi.
