- EIA Natural Gas Storage: 90bn (Expected: 80bn, Previous: 71bn)
Today’s EIA Natural Gas Storage report showed a net injection of 90 Bcf for the week ending. Compared with expectations of around 80 Bcf. This reading is also well above the previous week’s build of 71 Bcf, highlighting stronger-than-anticipated inventory growth. The larger injection reflects continued mild weather conditions that limited demand for both cooling and heating, alongside steady domestic production and firm Canadian imports, which kept supply ample relative to consumption.

Traders will remain focused on short-term temperature forecasts, as only sustained heat or early cold snaps could offset the current bearish storage trend.
