Salt-domes also injected more than expected and that is putting pressure on front spreads given the already high salt-dome inventory level of 342 bcf. Colder than normal weather through.....

EIA NG STORAGE REPORT
| April 14, 2016
April 14, 2016
The EIA reported a -3 bcf withdrawal for the week ending April 7, coming in tighter than our own number at +4 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at +3 bcf. The stronger than expected withdrawal in the East explains most of the difference to our expectations and could be a result of the much colder than normal weather in the region. While our scrape sample could not justify such a large withdrawal in the East, the weather-driven supply and demand models underestimated the draw as well. Last week.....
