  • Natural Gas Prices Rebound as US Weather Forecasts Turn Cooler
    April 7, 2026, 5:27 PM EDT. May Nymex natural gas futures recovered slightly, closing up 0.12% after hitting a 2-1/4 month low. Cooler weather forecasts for the central and eastern US from April 20-24 spurred short covering by suggesting higher heating demand. Despite initial declines due to expectations of above-normal spring temperatures reducing heating needs, inventory concerns persist. US natural gas storage remains tight at 2.1% below the five-year average, with last week's inventory build near forecasts but above typical seasonal draws. US gas production rose 4.9% year-on-year, while demand increased 10%. LNG exports slowed slightly. Longer-term bullish factors include renewed approval of LNG export projects under the Biden administration's policy shift. Rig counts modestly increased but remain near multi-year lows, underscoring supply constraints.
