The June contract, which takes over as prompt month Tuesday, increased 22.9¢ to $3.343/MMBtu. “This rally comes despite materially warmer weather forecasts coming out this weekend, with a net projection of +14.4 degrees Fahrenheit in warming over the next two weeks. Given the reaction to last week’s bearish storage report, we expect natural gas to have been technically oversold coming into this week,” Gelber & Associates said. “On the LNG side, feed gas demand has shown its first signs of stabilizing over the weekend with average flows recovering to above 16.1 Bcf/d and strengthening today’s rally.”
