+105 bcf
EIA reported a +105 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending May 20. This build was well above consensus estimates (Bloomberg median +95 bcf and Bloomberg Whisper of +97 bcf) and rose above both the prior 5-year average (+95 bcf) and year-ago builds (+100 bcf). This is the second week in a row that the year-on-year storage deficit has narrowed. Weather adjusted, this build makes balances appear slightly looser than both year-ago and week-ago balances; however, when taking into consi.....

+92 bcf
EIA reported a +92 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending May 13. This build just slightly exceeded consensus estimates (Bloomberg median +90 bcf and Bloomberg Whisper of +91 bcf) and rose above both the prior 5-year average (+91 bcf) and year-ago builds (+78 bcf). Weather adjusted, this build makes balances appear about in line with both the year-ago and week-ago balances. However, several emerging factors (both bearish and bullish) are worth watching as we progress through the i.....

+70 bcf
EIA reported a +70 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending May 6. This build fell just shy of consensus estimates (Bloomberg median +71 bcf and Bloomberg Whisper of +72 bcf), and remained well below the prior 5-year average (+90 bcf) and year-ago builds (+93 bcf). This week’s injection implies tighter balances on the week, but balances still appear about in line with the same calendar week last year. Week-on-week decreases in natural gas demand (due to cooler temperatures across mo.....

+72 bcf
EIA reported a +72 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending April 29. This build was larger than consensus estimates (Bloomberg median +67 bcf and Bloomberg Whisper of +64 bcf), but still smaller than the prior 5-year average (+78 bcf) and the year-ago build (+83 bcf). This week’s injection implies a large loosening of balances on the week, but balances actually appear in line with the same calendar week last year (and possibly still tighter). A sudden loosening on the week is common.....

+31 bcf
EIA reported a +31 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending April 22. This build was smaller than consensus estimates (Bloomberg median +38 bcf), the prior 5-year average (+65 bcf) and the year-ago build (+81). This week’s injection once again implies tighter balances on both the week and the year (after adjusting for weather). Increased natural gas demand resulting from low levels of nuclear capacity (which hit its lowest level since October 2006 during the reporting week) probably.....
