Monday, August 22nd saw the September NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $9.863, fifty-three cents above Friday’s closing price $9.336.

Tallying the intraday low of $9.441 ninety minutes later, prices were able to recover to the $9.700 level by 11:30AM and trade largely sideways for the balance of the day.
