U.S. Natural Gas Weekly – 8 April 2010
Working gas in storage rose 31 Bcf from previous week. Price rebounded on oversold conditions/short squeeze and again returned to downward path. Marginal costs of natural gas production is approximately 4 USD/MMBtu on average, so I would look this price as an equilibrium price and trade accordingly.
