Nat-gas prices retreated on Monday, sinking to a 17-month low. Forecasts for above-normal temperatures that reduce nat-gas heating demand and expand US gas storage levels are weighing on prices. The Commodity Weather Group said Monday that above-average temperatures are expected across the eastern two-thirds of the US through April 17, with seasonally normal weather now expected across the US from April 18-27.
