HOUSTON, Jun 14, 2010 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- (Adds details, settlement and spot price table)

Natural gas futures on Monday climbed above the $5 mark, lifted by forecasts for hot weather as well as by a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic that raised the specter of hurricanes.

Natural gas for July delivery settled 4.7%, or 22.5 cents, higher at $5.006 a million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. After the day's settlement, July futures rose to a fresh intraday high of $5.042/MMBtu.

This is the first time since Feb. 19 that natural gas has finished above the psychologically significant $5 level.

Gas futures have jumped about 15% this month as traders, who had bet heavily on falling prices, bought back contracts, on expectations that hot summer weather would ratchet up demand for natural gas-fired power generation.

In addition, the National Weather Service said Monday it was monitoring a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean that had a moderate chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. Past hurricanes have wreaked havoc on natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for 11% of total U.S. gas output.

The disturbance, which consists of several disorganized storms, may intensify, becoming a tropical storm by Wednesday, said Jim Rouiller, senior energy meteorologist with the private forecasting firm Planalytics. The weather system, however, posed a "minimal threat" to the U.S. Gulf and would likely weaken as it encounters more wind shear later this week, Rouiller added.

The cluster of thunderstorms serves as a stark reminder that hurricane season has begun.

"Conditions are becoming more conducive to hurricane development," said Tim Evans, an analyst with Citi Futures Perspective in New York.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's forecast calls for an 85% chance of an above-normal season, with a 70% probability of 14 to 23 named storms, eight to 14 hurricanes and three to seven major hurricanes.

Forecasts for hot weather also helped bolster natural gas prices on Monday. Meteorologists with the forecasting firm Commodity Weather Group see warmer-than-normal temperatures across most of the country June 24-28, including the Midwest, the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic.

Hot weather can spur additional gas demand to cool homes and businesses, slowing the rate at which gas is injected into storage. Natural gas inventories, which can be called upon in the event of short-term supply disruptions or demand spikes, have swelled this year as producers unlocked vast new supplies of the fuel from prolific onshore gas fields known as shales.

Natural gas in U.S. storage for the week ended June 4 stood at 2.456 trillion cubic feet--1.2% higher than last year and 14.4% above the five-year average.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.059.586 von Ricochet2 am 27.08.10 20:45:04Das sieht nicht so aus.... Zumal ich heute eingestiegen bin und NaturalGas CFDs gekauft habe. Ein totsicheres Signal, dass es abwärts geht

Aufrund der Vorkommnise (Japan) denke ich, dass Gas ein Revival feiern wird.

Habe mal eine kleine Posi VT1DHX zugelegt.

heute etwas positiv

Hallo jemand zu Hause hier ?

Die Gaspreise sind ja mächtig am fallen, mag aber vielleicht nicht nur am milden Winter liegen...

Mal sehen, wohin das noch läuft.

Ich bin längstens raus (kleines Plus).

Habe Wiedereinstieg überlegt, aber wir schmieren ja dauern wieder ab.

Meine Vermutung: In Canada und USA gibt's zu viel Gas (alle diese Shale Projekte).
Hierzulande jedoch ist der Verbaucherpreis viel höher.

Wenn Oel zurückkommt, Gas auch, vielleicht dann Long
