Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Thursday that forecasts shifted cooler for the middle of the US for September 23-27, and cooler weather will persist over the eastern two-thirds of the US for September 28-October 2. Higher US nat-gas production has recently been a bearish factor for prices. Last Tuesday, the EIA raised its forecast for 2025 US nat-gas production by +0.2% to 106.63 bcf/day from August's estimate of 106.40 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs recently posting a 2-year high.US (lower-48) dry gas production on Thursday was 107.2 bcf/day (+5.7% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Thursday was 74.0 bcf/day (-0.8% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Thursday were 15.4 bcf/day (+5.6% w/w), according to BNEF.As a supportive factor for gas prices, the Edison Electric Institute reported Wednesday that US (lower-48) electricity output in the week ended September 13 rose +0.83% y/y to 81,346 GWh (gigawatt hours), and US electricity output in the 52-week period ending September 13 rose +2.98% y/y to 4,265,230 GWh.Thursday's weekly EIA report was bearish for nat-gas prices since nat-gas inventories for the week ended September 12 rose +90 bcf, above the market consensus of +81 bcf and above the 5-year weekly average of +74 bcf. As of September 12, nat-gas inventories were down -0.3% y/y, but were +6.3% above their 5-year seasonal average, signaling adequate nat-gas supplies. As of September 16, gas storage in Europe was 81% full, compared to the 5-year seasonal average of 87% full for this time of year.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5006,664.36 +32.40 (+0.49%)Dow 3046,315.27 +172.85 (+0.37%)Nasdaq22,631.48 +160.75 (+0.72%)Russell 20002,448.77 -18.93 (-0.77%)VIX15.45 -0.25 (-1.59%)Gold3,719.40 +41.10 (+1.12%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersOKLO Oklo Inc. 135.23 +30.26 (+28.83%)BHF Brighthouse Financial, Inc. 57.59 +12.33 (+27.24%)QUBT Quantum Computing Inc. 23.27 +4.92 (+26.81%)MENS Jyong Biotech Ltd. 65.62 +13.87 (+26.80%)SMR NuScale Power Corporation 46.77 +8.65 (+22.69%)Top losersDXCM DexCom, Inc. 67.45 -8.33 (-10.99%)HESM Hess Midstream LP 35.36 -4.12 (-10.44%)VOR Vor Biopharma Inc. 27.24 -3.16 (-10.39%)CART Maplebear Inc. 41.50 -3.90 (-8.59%)ORLA Orla Mining Ltd. 10.22 -0.85 (-7.68%)Most activeOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 9.57 -0.37 (-3.72%)INTC Intel Corporation 29.58 -0.99 (-3.24%)SNAP Snap Inc. 8.16 -0.28 (-3.32%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 176.67 +0.43 (+0.24%)BBAI BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. 6.85 +0.57 (+9.08%)Earnings eventsMy earnings eventsEarnings eventsTrending tickersAAPL Apple Inc. 245.50 +7.62 (+3.20%)OKLO Oklo Inc. 135.23 +30.26 (+28.83%)QUBT Quantum Computing Inc. 23.27 +4.92 (+26.81%)ORCL Oracle Corporation 308.66 +12.04 (+4.06%)MSFT Microsoft Corporation 517.93 +9.48 (+1.86%)Top economic eventsPowered by Money.com - Yahoo may earn commission from the links above.
