Natural Gas is trading at $2.72 (-3.03%) under pressure from expectations of a 31 Bcf storage injection, following a 33 Bcf build that exceeded forecasts.

  • EIA expects inventories to reach 3,985 Bcf by October, the highest pre-winter level since 2016, citing increased production and reduced LNG feedgas during maintenance.
  • The EIA storage release was scheduled for 10:30 AM ET on August 13, 2026; the actual figure remains pending in available reports.
