Gas futures dip on mild weather

摘要

Natural gas futures slipped this week on forecasts for mild weather that should curb demand for heating and power plant fuel and bolster inventories in coming weeks. Nymex gas for June delivery fell 4.1 cents, or about 1pc, from 6-12 May. The prompt contract settled yesterday at 4.194 dollars /mmBtu. It has finished lower in three of the last five sessions.
