Market Fundamentals Supply and demand balances continue to push prices around as we enter the new week with a bearish mindset. Previous summer heat forecasts are now showing cooler temperatures going into August, with a final peak expected this Friday. Weekend production also rebounded to the 101 Bcf/d mark, although volumes will probably drop given weekly maintenance commencing tomorrow. Similarly in Canada, temperatures for the 29th onward are showing a significant change in the forecast to the cooler side.
