Analysis and Recommendations:
Natural Gas is trading at 3.068 adding 0.136 cents in today’s trading. A combination of increased demand for imports of LNG by Japan and a today’s EIA NG inventory stated:
Working gas in storage was 3,241 Bcf as of Friday, August 3, 2012, according to EIA estimates. This represents a net increase of 24 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 465 Bcf higher than last year at this time and 386 Bcf above the 5-year average of 2,855 Bcf. In the East Region, stocks were 134 Bcf above the 5-year average following net injections of 30 Bcf. Stocks in the Producing Region were 171 Bcf above the 5-year average of 937 Bcf after a net withdrawal of 5 Bcf. Stocks in the West Region were 81 Bcf above the 5-year average after a net drawdown of 1 Bcf. At 3,241 Bcf, total working gas is above the 5-year historical range.
Although inventories were higher, they were less then markets expected combined with two major storm systems, that could affect or cause supply disruptions energy markets are trading up.
