U.S. natural gas futures rose about 3% to a one-week high, settling at $5.280/mmBtu, on forecasts for cooler weather that would lift heating demand. Prices were still down about 18% from early October's peak after weeks of mild weather.
The contract also fell about 2% for the week, its third straight weekly decline.
