-56 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -56 bcf natural gas inventory withdrawal for the week ending March 11, a larger draw than consensus estimates (Bloomberg median -42 bcf) and the year-ago withdrawal of -25 bcf, but largely in line with the 5yr average withdrawal of -58 bcf. Weather-adjusted, this withdrawal makes balances appear tighter on a year-ago basis. This is the first time balances have appeared tighter on the year since early February when colder-than-normal temperatures .....

-71 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -71 bcf natural gas inventory build for the week ending March 4, a slightly smaller draw than consensus estimates (Bloomberg median -78 bcf) and well below the year-ago withdrawal (-112 bcf) as well as the 5yr average withdrawal (-107 bcf) due mostly to warmer weather. However, even weather-adjusted, the withdrawal makes balances appear slightly looser on a year-ago basis. Nonetheless, we are still anticipating end of March inventories in the 1......

-85 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -85 bcf storage withdrawal for the week ending February 25, in line with the Bloomberg median of -85 bcf but much smaller than the five-year average draw of -131 bcf and the year-ago draw of -124 bcf. This draw makes balances appear just slightly looser on both a year-ago and week-ago basis. However, the holiday effect, increased power generation from other sources, and the first net injection of the season in the producing region all contributed .....

-81 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -81 bcf storage withdrawal for the week ending February 18, just slightly smaller than the Bloomberg median estimate of -83 bcf but much smaller than the five-year average draw of -148 bcf and the year-ago draw of -174 bcf. This draw appears looser than the same calendar week last year. However, the looser-looking balances are likely due to the large increases in temperature across the US during the reporting week. At the same time, even as we ap.....
