December Nymex natural gas (NGZ23) on Tuesday closed down -0.088 (-3.15%).
Nat-gas prices Tuesday extended Monday's losses to a 2-month nearest-futures low and settled sharply lower. Forecasts for warmer U.S. weather that curb heating demand for nat-gas are undercutting prices. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 said Tuesday that most U.S. weather forecasts were shifting warmer from Dec 8-12. Also, ramped-up U.S. nat-gas production is weighing on prices.
