US natural gas prices fell to $3.23 per million British thermal units on Friday, retreating from a seven-week high of $3.34 reached on November 12, as warmer-than-normal winter forecasts and profit-taking weighed on the market following a weather-driven rally.
Traders have increasingly priced in the recent cold spell, while expectations of mild conditions point to weaker heating demand and greater scope for storage injections.
The latest federal report showed inventories reaching 2% above normal in the week ended November 6, up from a 1.4% surplus a week earlier.
Ample supply and rising production also pressured prices, alongside softer export activity.
Average gas flows to the nine major US LNG export terminals eased to 18.1 bcfd so far in November, from 18.5 bcfd in October.
Meanwhile, Lower 48 output averaged 112.4 bcfd.
During the week, US natural gas prices rose more than 7%.
