Some volatility in NYMEX gas futures today, at one point trading up about 13 cents, but NYMEX ultimately decided to settle up only a few more cents since yesterday, the September front month ending the day at $3.08 US/mm.

Not much new on the weather front, heat is still expected in mid August, including for those in the Northeastern region of the US. Some storm activity in the Atlantic to keep an eye on, but nothing so far that will reach landfall in the US as a cyclone.

Average monthly flows to LNG export plants in the US is back to its record-breaking pace according to LSEG’s data, August flows far are on track to hit 16.1 Bcf/d, up significantly since July’s average of 15.5 Bcf/d.

Lastly, Reuters estimates that tomorrow’s storage report will add about +17 Bcf of gas into the lower 48’s inventories. Stay tuned.
