US natural gas futures give back part of their gains

EBW Analytics' Eli Rubin stated in a report that inventory data appears to be particularly favorable for Henry Hub and NYMEX futures, as inventories in the south-central region are 4.1 billion cubic feet lower than the same period last year. "Regional supply continues to tighten—even without high temperatures—which could remain a supporting factor for NYMEX natural gas into early summer." Natural gas futures for July delivery fell 1.7% to $3.278 per million British thermal units.
