U.S. Natural Gas Posts Back-to-Back Gains

Updated Oct. 7, 2025 3:05 pm ET

15:02 ET – U.S. natural gas futures rise for a second straight session with support from lower production, buoyant LNG feed gas flows and some weather-driven demand seen for later in the month. This week’s inventory report is expected to show another below-average storage build, although the surplus is seen increasing again after that. The EIA in its monthly outlook expects storage to end the injection season at 3,980 Bcf, or 5% above the five-year average. “These higher-than-expected stocks at the start of winter support more natural gas in storage throughout winter 2025-26, assuming near-normal temperatures,” the EIA says. It predicts inventories will end March at 1,990 Bcf, or 8% above the five-year average. Nymex natural gas settles up 4.2% at $3.498/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)

U.S. Natural Gas Futures Advance With Fundamental Support

0942 ET – U.S. natural gas futures are higher after last week’s “surge-and-retreat” with the current upswing fundamentally backed by ebbing production, record LNG flows “and now, cooling forecasts for the latter half of October,” Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics says in a note. “While natural gas storage remains on track to exceed 3.9 Tcf, the market appears intent on turning the page from the 2025 injection season to a more supportive winter ahead,” he says. The Nymex front month is up 1.3% at $3.40/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
