Natural Gas is trading 3.35% up at $2.87 after updated forecasts pointed to sustained late-summer heat across major U.S. population centers, boosting air-conditioning demand, gas-fired power generation, and near-term consumption.
- Traders anticipate smaller storage injections, though elevated production and above-average inventories may limit further gains.
- Higher oil prices and geopolitical supply uncertainty are also supportive. The move is primarily a sector and commodity-fundamental rally, not a company-specific event.
