New England Natural Gas Prices Plummet Amid Summer Heat
Natural gas prices in New England plummeted on Thursday for Friday delivery as heat-driven premiums evaporated, according to the Daily Gas Price Index. The losses erased the previous session's weather-driven premiums and reinforced confidence that supplies remain comfortable despite widespread summer heat.
A federal storage report came in modestly above expectations, further supporting the notion that natural gas supplies are ample. At a glance, the Northeast premium has disappeared, storage tops expectations, and heat meets abundant supply.
