Natural Gas Prices Plummet Amidst LNG Facility Delay and Above-Average U.S. Temperatures
Natural gas futures plummeted after news of a delayed completion of a major LNG export facility intensified concerns about a storage glut. The decline was driven by robust production and weak weather-related demand. The front-month natural gas futures contract settled down 14.1 cents at $2.569/MMBtu, while February futures dropped 15.0 cents to $2.517. The spot gas national average also sank 52.5 cents to $3.030.
