Natural Gas Futures News: Why Prices Are Down 2.39% Today

natural gas futures newsNatural Gas Futures News, 5/19/15: Natural gas prices fell sharply today (Tuesday) during a month that has seen a huge rally in the energy sector.

By 1:10 p.m., natural gas futures were down 2.39% at $2.99 per million British thermal units (BTUs). Prices have seen a 5.6% gain in May so far, despite a 3.1% pullback during the first full week of the month. Futures hit $3.07 on May 15, the highest level since mid-January.

The natural gas futures news comes on speculation that the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) weekly report on Thursday may show above-normal supply gains. Based on the average of three analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg, the report could show that gas stockpiles increased by 99 billion cubic feet last week.

"It will be interesting to see if the $3 level can survive the inventory number," Bob Yawger, director of the futures division at Mizuho Securities, told Bloomberg. "The market is looking for something close to triple digits, which would be a pretty big number for the week."

In its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA said gas production could rise 6% to a record 79.22 billion cubic feet a day. Output from the Marcellus shale formation - the largest gas reservoir in the U.S. - may increase to 16.74 billion cubic feet a day next month.

But today's natural gas futures news is just a short-term pullback. According to Money Morning's Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors, demand will outpace supply in 2015, especially once the U.S. starts exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG).

"From the rise of liquefied natural gas exports to both Europe and Asia to the transition well underway from coal to gas in the generation of electricity, the ability to produce more unconventional gas is being met by a rise in the demand curve," Moors explained in October 2014.

And that growing demand is a major catalyst for our favorite natural gas stock...
