+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.....

The 5-year average storage change for the calendar week is +12 bcf and last year there was a +29 bcf injection. This w.....
