10月6日早些時候，美國天然氣價格上漲幅度超過3%  

未來幾天，美國各地對天然氣的需求預(yù)計將高于此前預(yù)期  

美國能源信息署(EIA)10月6日晚些時候發(fā)布的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國天然氣庫存量當(dāng)天新增1130億立方英尺

據(jù)油價網(wǎng)10月6日報道，在美國能源信息署(EIA)發(fā)布每周天然氣庫存報告之前，美國基準(zhǔn)天然氣價格周四（10月6日）早盤上漲逾3%，達(dá)到兩周以來的最高水平，因?yàn)槭袌鲱A(yù)計下周對這種燃料的需求將上升。

截至美國東部時間周四上午9:05，美國基準(zhǔn)亨利中心天然氣即月期貨價格上漲3.20%，至每百萬英熱單位7.125美元。據(jù)路透社估計，未來幾天美國各地的天然氣需求量預(yù)計將超過此前的預(yù)期。

美國天然氣價格周四早盤上漲，盡管EIA預(yù)計6日晚些時候?qū)⒐几哂谄骄降奶烊粴鈳齑媪?。由于過去幾天的溫和天氣、兩個液化天然氣出口設(shè)施的關(guān)閉以及風(fēng)力發(fā)電的增加，預(yù)計天然氣庫存量增加將高于平均水平。 

據(jù)EIA 6日晚些時候發(fā)布的天然氣庫存報告估計，截至9月30日的一周，美國新增天然氣庫存量為1130億立方英尺。據(jù)路透社報道，盡管總體上與去年同周的新增數(shù)保持一致，但這將高于870億立方英尺的5年平均新增天然氣庫存量。 

由于天氣溫和，颶風(fēng)伊恩過后佛羅里達(dá)州斷電，天然氣需求最近有所下降。此外，由于馬里蘭州的Cove Point液化天然氣出口設(shè)施從10月1日開始了為期三周的年度計劃維護(hù)，最近幾天美國國內(nèi)可用的天然氣有所增加。 

美國自由港液化天然氣出口設(shè)施在6月發(fā)生火災(zāi)，該設(shè)施至少要關(guān)閉到11月初。 

本周早些時候，美國天然氣期貨周一下跌6%，延續(xù)了上周五的跌勢，原因是市場參與者擔(dān)心國內(nèi)需求前景減弱、產(chǎn)量上升以及美國液化天然氣出口可能中斷。

U.S. Natural Gas Prices Jump To Two-Week High

·     U.S. natural gas prices rose by more than 3% early on Thursday.

·     Demand for natural gas across the United States is expected to rise in the coming days more than previously expected.

·     Estimates point to the EIA reporting later today a build of 113 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas in storage.

The benchmark U.S. natural gas prices rose by more than 3% early on Thursday ahead of the weekly EIA gas inventory report, to the highest level in two weeks, amid expectations of higher demand for the fuel next week.

As of 9:05 a.m. ET on Thursday, the front-month futures at the Henry Hub, the U.S. benchmark, were trading 3.20% higher at $7.125 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). Demand for natural gas across the United States is expected to rise in the coming days more than previously expected, according to Reuters estimates.

U.S. natural gas prices were rising early on Thursday despite a forecast of a bigger-than-average gas in storage build expected to be reported by the EIA later today. The steeper-than-average stock build was expected due to milder weather in the past days, halts of two LNG export facilities, and a rise in wind power generation.

Estimates point to the EIA reporting later today a build of 113 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas in storage for the week that ended September 30. While generally in line with the build from the same week of 2021, this would be above the five-year average build in gas in storage stocks of 87 bcf, according to Reuters.

Gas demand has faltered lately due to mild weather and power outages in Florida after Hurricane Ian. Moreover, there has been more gas available domestically in recent days as the Cove Point LNG export facility in Maryland started a three-week annual planned maintenance on October 1.

The Freeport LNG export facility continues to be out until at least early November after a fire in June.

Earlier this week, U.S. natural gas futures dipped by 6% on Monday, extending losses from Friday, as market participants fretted over receding domestic demand prospects, rising production, and possible disruption for American LNG exports.
