NG1! This post is about the risk of 2std movements in the next 30 days. NOT a directional forecast.
TL;DR Don’t see a lot of potential for large price movements in the next 30 days. EU storage is on the edge of concerningly low - which could mean upside if it gets worse.
Otherwise, US storage seems just above normal, although build-up is slower than expected. US gas is extremely cheap relative to EU, but this has not historically sparked large moves.
Not sure why price has been going down. Weather is a gap in my knowledge, but I looked at CDD and HDD, and couldn’t find a correlation to large movements in the last 15 years. Frankly I have no clue on geopolitics, but a peace deal in Russia would definitely drop prices.
Indicators I pay attention to:
1. Weekly US natural gas storage residual: +200 bcf. Nothing extreme, but ample storage limits upside moves.
2. Weekly US natural gas consumption residual: -38 bcf. Slightly slower build up, but not concerning.
3. EU natural has storage residual: -134 TWh. Edge of concerningly low. Could be catalyst for upside if it continues dropping.
4. US natural gas vs EU natural gas prices: Very cheap. Generally not a catalyst for large moves unless it’s very expensive.
5. US Natural Gas Volatility Index: normal levels.
