1520 ET - U.S. natural gas futures fall for a fourth straight session with the market weighed down by a large storage surplus and lower LNG demand due to maintenance at Freeport LNG. "While we don't see major downside from here, at least compared with upside possibilities when looking out toward month end, a healthy 185 Bcf storage surplus is keeping sellers in control for now," Ritterbusch & Associates says in a note. However, "we still see enough summer remaining for another hot spell combined with any early hurricane activity capable of strengthening the fall/winter portion of the gas curve again." Nymex natural gas for August delivery settles down 1.5%at $2.897/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
