Wednesday, August 24th saw the September NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $9.232, four cents above Tuesday’s closing price $9.193. Falling to an intraday low of $9.100 near 10:30AM, news of the LNG terminals returning to service later than anticipated seems to have offset the bullish momentum brought on by the latest energy news out of Europe. Climbing to an intraday high of $9.455 at 12:25PM, prices trading sideways near $9.360 for the balance of the session. September closed higher on Wednesday at $9.330.
The October contract blazed a similar trail to finish fifteen higher, closing at $9.300 for the day.
