In the last months global economic outlook has improved a bit. In U.S. we can see signs of personal consumption and manufacturing activity growing at soft rates, but growing; at the same time employment, housing, construction spending, durable goods orders are stagnating. Fall in initial jobless claims is clearly being offset by inflow of people into the workforce; job creation still weak.
Working gas in storage fell 23 Bcf from previous week. Consensus was at -29 Bcf.
To repeat: I expect large draws in following weeks.
