⏫Natural Gas Rebounds Nearly 2%

5:55 PM 7 July 2025

Following initial declines, natural gas prices are showing a distinct rebound amid expectations of higher temperatures in the coming weeks.

Natural gas had been under pressure since June 20, due to lower-than-initially-expected demand from gas-fired power plants. Consequently, inventory builds in recent weeks have been larger than typical. However, temperatures remain elevated, and the latest forecasts indicate that July and August are set to be very warm. Recent data from last week showed that inventories increased slightly more than anticipated but less than the five-year average. If this trend persists in the coming weeks, inventories will approach the five-year average. Seasonally, gas typically bottoms out around the turn of June and July.

Gas prices are rebounding today, despite opening with a downward gap. Gas is approaching the 200-session moving average. If it succeeds in breaching this level, it will mark another false breakout, similar to those observed in April and May. In those two previous instances, following the breach of the 200-session moving average, initial gains amounted to approximately 17-18%. Source: xStation5
