3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 26
Summary
US natural gas futures climbed on the final trading day for the July contract, with both July and more-active August Henry Hub contracts moving higher.
Early-July forecasts still show above-average temperatures, supporting expectations for stronger cooling demand and lifting prices.
US Gulf Coast LNG export flows remain elevated, leaving fewer supplies for the domestic market and adding support to the August contract.
Thin liquidity near July expiry amplified the impact of individual trades, making price moves more pronounced.
