Last week’s U.S. EIA natural gas inventory change (in hundred million cubic feet) (as of 0807) fell short of expectations: 360 vs 320

U.S. EIA natural gas inventories rose by 36 billion cubic feet, exceeding expectations of 32 billion and the prior 33 billion, indicating supply-demand shifts with limited short-term liquidity impact.

Last week, the U.S. EIA reported a change in natural gas inventory of 36 billion cubic feet, higher than the expected 32 billion cubic feet and the previous figure of 33 billion cubic feet. The larger-than-expected increase in inventory suggests some change either in energy demand or supply, with limited impact on short-term liquidity.
