NATGAS spikes following EIA report 📈 Inventories decelerate

Natural gas futures (NATGAS) shifted into a higher gear today, rallying 2.6% and breaching key technical levels The bullish catalyst came courtesy of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which reported a weekly storage injection that undershot Wall Street consensus estimates.

Key Highlights:

The EIA Print: A net injection of 73 BCF for the week ending June 12, 2026 – coming in lower than the forecasted 76 BFC – marked a massive deceleration from the previous week's triple-digit 108 BCF injection.
Storage Rebalancing: While total storage remains 151 BCF above the five-year average, it has notably flipped to 29 BCF below last year’s levels, confirming a progressive tightening of the structural supply-demand balance.
