Natural Gas Stockpiles Are Low Heading Toward Winter

The U.S. added just 15 Bcf of natural gas to storage last week, reaching 3,184 Bcf as of August 21, government data shows. Refills normally accelerate before winter demand hits. But persistent heat is burning more gas for electricity, leaving less stored away. Henry Hub gas futures settled at 2.881. Thin stockpiles could push winter prices higher.
