Monday, July 28th<\/sup> saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas contract open at $3.101, $0.009 below Friday\u2019s closing price of $3.110. Reaching the intraday high of $3.132 by 9:15AM, the contract proceeded to cascade lower throughout the session as production remains steady and cooling demand is forecasted to decline. Crossing midday at $3.038, prices fell to a three-month intraday low of $2.984 ahead of 2:30PM. August closed lower on Monday at $2.988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
