HOUSTON—Natural-gas futures erased Thursday's sharp losses, rising more than 3% as buyers re-entered a market at prices that had fallen to their lowest level in almost six weeks.
Natural gas for June delivery settled up 13.6 cents, or 3.3%, at $4.23 a million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The benchmark contract shed 10.4 cents Thursday after the Energy Information Administration reported the largest injection of gas into U.S. storage so far this year, narrowing the deficit between current and typical storage levels for the first time in two months.
That stoked a selloff that had already been underway most of the week, said Matt Smith, an analyst with Summit Energy in Louisville, Ky.
"Now we are seeing some position-taking and some buying interest coming into the market before the weekend, at a price level at what has been a favorable entry point in recent months," Mr. Smith said.
Friday's buying was bolstered by forecasts for warmer-than-normal weather in the eastern U.S. during the next two weeks—potentially lifting demand for gas-fired electricity to power air conditioners—and a declining number of drilling rigs aiming for natural gas.
"Next week should be the warmest of the season so far for the East Coast cities as temperatures persistently reach the 80s," said meteorologists with private forecaster Commodity Weather Group. "Combined with moderate humidity levels, it could feel like the 90s at times."
Meanwhile, Baker Hughes said that as of last Friday the number of rigs drilling for gas fell by eight from the week before to 866—the lowest level since January 2010. The oilfield-services firm, however, said the number of oil rigs grew by seven to 954, which could mute the impact of the gas-rig reduction since most oil wells also yield a significant amount of methane.
Traders watch the rig count closely for signs that producers are pulling back to limit supply growth.
Still, some are skeptical that prices will push higher, noting that the benchmark contract has ended up at nearly the same price the last two weeks.
"Despite the lively buying by the bulls this morning, this still appears to be a another week of range trading," Pax Saunders, an analyst with Gelber & Associates in Houston, wrote in a note to clients.
