November Natural Gas Futures Plummet on Mild Weather Forecasts
Natural gas futures fell in their first day of trading as the prompt month in November due to mild early October weather forecasts and restored pipeline flows in Appalachia.
The price decline was significant, with November natural gas futures sliding on their debut. This drop is attributed to a combination of factors, including milder than expected early October weather forecasts and the restoration of Appalachian pipeline flows.
The Henry Hub, a key benchmark for natural gas prices, saw its output hovering near 106.6 Bcf/d. Additionally, the ongoing Iran war has kept LNG demand elevated, while Golden Pass feedgas held steady at around 600 MMcf/d.
