+58 bcf

EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a +58 bcf net injection for the week ending September 3, in line with the Bloomberg median expectation of +57 bcf. The build was below last year’s +68 bcf and the +61 bcf 5-year average. Warmer than normal weather (70 CDD vs. 53 CDD 30-year norm) certainly contributed to this week’s injection falling below the prior five-year average. Although comparisons to year-ago balances will become increasingly strained through September, this week’s repor.....

The build was below last year’s +64 bcf and the +62 bcf 5-year average. In our view, this report does little to change the fundamental story that has prevailed during the summer: the pace of injections is on par with historical norms and with last summer’s pace. Although warm weather (73 CDD versus 61 CDD 30 year norm) certainly contri.....
