Фьючерсы на природный газ в среду выросли, поскольку более жаркие прогнозы на сентябрь и ожидания более сильного экспорта СПГ подтолкнули ближайший контракт к $3/MMBtu, хотя высокий уровень добычи стал сдерживающим фактором. Движение произошло на фоне того, как трейдеры продолжали сопоставлять позднелетний погодный спрос с избыточным предложением — привычное противоборство по мере углубления рынка в сезон межсезонья.
Вот последние данные:
Октябрьский контракт вырос на 6.5 цента.
