In this mid-week report for ELK TRADING Co LLC, we dive into the latest movements for the September natural gas contract, currently trading up as it tests key exponential moving averages. We break down why the technicals and RSI are pointing toward further upside potential.
Key Highlights:
Storage & Spreads: A look at the upcoming storage report estimates (+14 BCF) and what the front-to-back spreads tell us about storage pulls in the US Gulf Coast.
Weather & Grid Demand: Extreme heat risk continues to build across Texas and the South, driving ERCOT demand toward 90,000 MW and potentially forcing more natural gas into the power mix as solar eases in the evenings.
Global Supply Constraints: We discuss the 40% production drop at Norway's Ormen Lange facility and the "hand-to-mouth" storage situation facing the UK this winter.
LNG Infrastructure: Updates on maintenance at Freeport and Corpus Christi, plus the exciting progress of Train 1 at Golden Pass.
