U.S. natural gas futures give back some gains.

U.S. natural gas futures fell, after rising in the previous two trading days due to hotter weather forecasts and a below-average weekly inventory injection report. Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics stated in a report that inventory data seems particularly favorable for the Henry Hub and NYMEX futures, as inventories in the Central and Southern regions are 410 billion cubic feet lower than the same period last year. "Regional supplies continue to tighten - even without hot weather - which may still be a supporting factor for NYMEX natural gas heading into early summer." Natural gas futures for July delivery fell 1.7%, to $3.278 per million British thermal units.
