Heat Wave Fails to Spark Natural Gas Price Rally
Natural gas prices continued their downward trend on Monday, despite sweltering heat and robust cooling demand.
New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas futures dropped 10.0 cents to $2.788/MMBtu by noon.
The decline came as traders weighed the strong near-term demand for cooling against a sturdy supply situation.
The Iran War fallout also played a role in the price movement, although its impact was less clear-cut.
