US natgas futures up to 7-week high on small storage build
- The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said utilities added 38 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas into storage during the week ended April 16.
- That was less than the 49-bcf build analysts forecast in a Reuters poll and compares with an increase of 47 bcf in the same week last year and a five-year (2016-2020) average increase of 37 bcf.
