New recent lows with another +100 Bcf build with the natural gas injection season upon us. The EIA reported a build of +102 Bcf in natural gas storage last week. Ahead we focus on LNG and Mexican exports.
The natural gas injection season is upon us. The EIA reported a build of +102 Bcf in natural gas storage last week. Ahead we focus on LNG and Mexican exports.
Weather models contue to flip. The focus will continue on Sabine Pass and Mexico and perhaps LNG exports given Trade Wars are the overhang du jour.
Keep in mind after the wild price action that natural gas the Marcellus break-even is $2.50 and $3.50 is the Haynesville break-even. Both those levels were also impulse exhaustions.

Inventories are expected to come in at 2,094 Bcf, with the deficit to the five-year average shrinking from 240 to 223 Bcf.” – Platts (Bentek)

Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures Weekly Chart Outlook via @KnovaWave
Natural Gas pushed through the bottom of it’s tight range through the previous 100% or the 2017-18 low and -3/8 Murrey Math after came off the 50dma and Kijun and Tenkan crossover and as we offered at some point pressure gives way. Continues until upside goes.
Natural Gas closed back under the prev 100% also the 2017-18 low has continued to dribble lower. Upside resistance heavy with Tenkan and previous breaks proving too strong. When do the doldrums end?
