Business & Markets • 2 months ago
U.S. natural gas futures traded lower on Tuesday, with the market anticipating the release of the latest weekly storage report. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had projected an increase of 31 billion cubic feet in natural gas inventories.
The figures, when released, will provide insight into the supply-demand balance for the commodity. A larger-than-expected build could indicate weaker demand or stronger supply, potentially exerting further downward pressure on prices, while a smaller build might suggest increased demand or tighter supply, offering support.
