BREAKING: NATGAS tests $2.50 area after EIA data

US Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued an official weekly report on US natural gas inventories today at 3:30 pm BST. Report was expected to show a 76 billion cubic feet build in US gas inventories, what would be a build in-line with 5-year averages.

Actual data showed a 70 billion cubic feet build, slightly smaller than expected and near 5-year low for the period. NATGAS extended gains following the release and is now testing the $2.50 resistance zone.
