NEW YORK--Natural-gas futures were modestly higher Friday after a steep 3.9% drop a day earlier on higher-than-expected U.S. inventory levels.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said domestic gas stockpiles fell by 118 billion cubic feet last week, well below the average 132-bcf drop predicted in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.
The withdrawal was the second in a row to come in sharply below market expectations, forcing investors to revise forecasts for the amount of gas likely to remain in storage at the end of the high-demand winter season.
Stocks of 2.684 trillion cubic feet now stand at 15% above the five-year average level for this time of year, when the winter is winding down.
Forecasters call for temperatures in the key Northeast and Midwest consumer markets to warm up to normal levels in the coming six to 10 days, before turning to below-normal levels in the 11 to 15 day outlooks.
Analysts said that is a recipe for continued price volatility as investors react to short-term swings in the weather and, implicitly, on gas demand.
March-delivery gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange was 2.6 cents higher at $3.311 per million British thermal units after a 13.3-cent fall from two-week highs on Thursday.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates, said he expects rallies to be modest and capped below $3.4/mmBtu as the market focuses on high supply more than demand. The "EIA report will keep end of season supply expectations skewed in a bearish direction," he said.
Natural gas for next-day delivery at the benchmark Henry Hub in Louisiana recently traded at $3.28/mmBtu, according to IntercontinentalExchange, compared with Thursday's average of $3.377/mmBtu. As a severe winter storm was predicted for the New England area, natural gas for next-day delivery at Transcontinental Zone 6 in New York jumped to trade at $28/mmBtu, from $8.75/mmBtu on Thursday.

ciao, scusa ma leggo solo ora.
Sugli indici (DAX e MIB) io avrei un ultimo mensile. Pare stiano girando ad iniziare un T+1, e quindi credo anche il T+2 finale. All'incirca dovrebbe chiudere verso la fine della terza settimana di marzo. Ma sono solo date indicative. Intanto bisogna vedere SE inizia e c'è il segnale del T+1. Proverò un longhino lunedì. Poca roba, abbastanza rischiosa secondo me.
Il gaz mi sta rompendo il quazzo, ma siamo sul finire dell'annuale, per cui ci sta. Meglio stare all'occhio che questa debolezza non mi piace. Per ora tengo ma deciderò un ridimensionamento della posizione long lunedì. Solita politica: piccoli loss e prudenza e cercare di prender eun buon timing...

Questo prezzo di 3,265 in chiusura e' tutta una farsa, nessuno ti vende 998 mc di gas a quel prezzo.

Questo cosa significherebbe, che alla riaperture domenica notte dovrebbe esserci una sorpresa?
Lo dico perche' si sapeva che ci sarebbe stata questa tempesta di neve, eppure il vostrano da giovedi dopo le scorte, ha perso un buon 5%, con chiusura ieri sul minimissimo.

Un conto è HH, altro discorso per i singoli gate . ..capita spesso che in occasioni simili a quelle che stanno accadendo a NY il gas schizzi a prezzi altissimi, ma durano il tempo della tempesta. per far schizzare HH ci vorrebbe una tempesta su tutti gli USA.

sono prezzi per singole zone. se si guardano i vari gate capita spesso di vedere prezzi altissimi, ma sono dovuti a fenomeni locali. come scritto sopra ci vorrebbe una tempesta su tutti gli USA per farlo schizzare.

Grazie per l'ottima risposta, sono però convinto che 3 dollari per 1000 mc sia un prezzo assurdo, sicuramente politico!!!!!
