EIA Natural Gas Storage as of 6/05/26, as reported 6/11/26
*Working gas in storage was 2,686 Bcf as of Friday, June 5, 2026, according to EIA estimates. This represents a net increase of 108 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 5 Bcf less than last year at this time and 151 Bcf above the five-year average of 2,535 Bcf. At 2,686 Bcf, total working gas is within the five-year historical range.
The NYMEX July contract closed at $3.19/MMBtu yesterday, a $0.05/MMBtu increase from Tuesday’s close. This week, July has averaged $3.16/MMBtu, about $0.07/MMBtu below last week’s $3.23/MMBtu average. It is trading at $3.08/MMBtu, down $0.11/MMBtu from yesterday’s close. Weather models stripped cooling demand from the late-June outlook overnight, while production rebounded to 108.6 Bcf/d in early-cycle nominations, driven by stronger Permian volumes. Power burns peak this week before cooler-than-normal weather across the eastern half of the US drives gas burns more than 20% lower by early next week. LNG feedgas is providing offsetting support, reaching 18.8 Bcf/d – the highest since April – as Freeport and Corpus Christi flows recover, though Freeport volumes may face intraday revisions.
