U.S. Natural Gas Futures Start Week Lower

0926 ET - U.S. natural gas futures are lower with LNG maintenance still curbing feedgas flows and a softer outlook for near-term power-sector demand. Heat and smoke from Canadian wildfires cleared over the northeast, raising solar energy output and lowering electricity demand, although Texas will see some triple-digit "feels like" temperatures by mid-week, Gary Cunningham of Tradition Energy says in a note. "Outlooks for power-sector demand and continued maintenance at LNG export terminals are simply too bearish for a rally," he adds. "The August contract is likely range bound between $2.80 and $2.95 until something changes." Nymex gas for August delivery is off 1% at $2.882/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
