Practically all the miss in our model came from the South Central, where the inventory-build in the salt domes across the South Central remained relatively robust despite the strength in cash. In last week’s report, we emphasized the strength in Henry Hub cash prices and the role it played in the smaller-than-expected bui.....

EIA NG STORAGE REPORT | September 08, 2016

Both regions have limited flow visibility and it is hard to speculate on the specifics of the causes, especially in the Midwest. As for South Central, cash front-month spread approached 10.....
