Natural Gas Futures Fall Short of $3 Mark Amid Record Heat
Natural gas futures continued their upward trend on Wednesday, but failed to breach the $3 mark. The price increase was driven by record-challenging heat in the South, which boosted demand for natural gas.
However, softer liquefied natural gas (LNG) feedgas and a bearish shift in forecasts beyond the weekend limited the rally's momentum.
The October contract hovered just below $3, but failed to reach this milestone. The Golden Pass LNG terminal's feedgas rebounded, which also contributed to the price increase.
