Path Trading Partners' Bob Iaccino breaks down the recent price action in August Natural Gas futures, noting the resumption of a downward trend after a brief two-day rally. Iaccino highlights shifting U.S. weather patterns, explaining how intense heat across the Midwest and East Coast is expected to drive high demand, while rain in Texas and a cooling front in the Northeast provide temporary relief.
Additionally, he analyzes the latest EIA report, which revealed a natural gas supply build of 41 billion cubic feet. This figure fell short of market expectations and the five-year average. Despite this smaller build narrowing the overall surplus to 181 billion cubic feet, prices remained pressured as markets digested the evolving supply and demand outlook.
