October 29 – It was a rough start to the week for natural gas futures. Prices cratered, dropping over 10% on Monday. The culprits? Strong production numbers and some pretty unfavorable weather forecasts. It looks like winter is taking its sweet time to arrive, and that’s putting a damper on demand.
