September Heat Pushes Natural Gas Futures Toward $3/MMBtu
Natural gas futures rose on Wednesday as hotter September forecasts and optimism over liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports pushed prices toward $3 per million British thermal units (MMBtu).
The prompt month gains were tempered by strong production levels, which provided a counterweight to the upward momentum.
The October contract gained 6.5 cents on Wednesday, while cash markets saw mixed results with the Waha price topping $2.
