"Natural Gas Futures and Cash Follow Oil Complex Lower

Natural gas futures for December delivery on the NYMEX continued to
fall lower yesterday, dropping $0.125 to $2.551 per MMBtu on mild
temperatures across much of the nation, along with sympathy selling with
the free-fall in petroleum futures. In doing so, the market took out the
October 1st low of $2.535, the weakest point in the downtrend that began
last winter, which had been touted as a technical support point. Still,
prices settled above that level, likely because colder weather forecast
for next week. The January contract lost $0.117 to $2.767 per MMBtu.
Prices opened lower on overnight developments, and held to a tight trading
range for the duration of the session. Trade and commercial accounts were
sellers near the day’s highs. Look for the next technical support level at
$2.42. With crude oil in a free-fall, tumbling $4.22 per barrel on the
NYMEX yesterday, already bad natural gas fundamentals just got worse.
Combined with storage at record high levels, the oil complex meltdown will
add to the selling pressure until cold weather turns the situation around.
But before the cold weather arrives, more moderate temperatures are
expected through this weekend. The AGA reported Wednesday an injection of
7 Bcf, bringing the total to 3.017 Tcf, 365 Bcf more than a year ago.
Natural gas for next day delivery across the US and Canada continued to
sink lower yesterday, generally falling $0.20 – $0.30 per MMBtu. Natural
gas for next day delivery at the Henry hub tumbled $0.24 to $2.04 per
MMBtu."
