Natural gas retreats as traders react to the EIA report, which showed that working gas in storage increased by 78 Bcf from the previous week, compared to analyst consensus of +84 Bcf. Most likely, the pullback is driven by profit-taking.

If natural gas settles below the $2.65 level, it will head towards the support at $2.45 – $2.50.
