Natural gas prices and related ETFs rose on Wednesday as traders reacted to weather forecasts pointing to a colder-than-expected winter. The UNG fund gained 17.9 percent and leveraged products moved much more.
Futures traded as high as 20 percent higher intraday on a 15-year-low supply position.
Leveraged ETF moves reflect speculative positioning that can add to short-term price swings in natural gas. Underlying cold-weather demand and low supply still support higher energy input costs for feed producers.
