Natural gas spot prices were lower in a week marked by declining demand expectations on the cusp of the fall shoulder season and a slower drawdown of storage surpluses that fed fresh concerns about the stubbornly high Lower 48 supply.
NGI’s Weekly Spot Gas National Avg. for the Aug. 19-23 trading period fell 15.0 cents to $1.495/MMBtu.
Losses were spread widely across most regions. PG&E Citygate was among the largest losers sinking 34.5 cents week/week to average $2.395. PNGTS Non-Border followed, tumbling 33.0 cents to $1.845. OGT slipped 20.0 cents on the week to $1.565.
