Natural gas prices in the United States sit at the highest levels in 2 and a half years. Cold winter has led to reduction in global stockpiles. While US inventories remained near 5-year average, increased demand hinted at risk of stockpiles declining further. The latest data from EIA showed that inventory restocking is progressing slower than usual. Moreover, weather forecasts hint at a hot summer period. This should lead to increased demand for electricity and a lot of power plants in Europe and the United States use natural gas as a fuel. Interestingly, natural gas inventories in Europe sit at the lowest levels in over a decade for the given period. European prices hit a 13-year high.
