US Natural Storage Falls Less than Expected
US energy firms withdrew billion cubic feet of natural gas from storages on the first week of March, less than market expectations of a 42 bcf withdrawal. It was the lowest pull in gas inventories since the start of the year and tying for the lowest pull since the third week of the third week of the withdrawal season in early December, suggesting companies may be close to the end of the season. The pulls were focused solely on the East and Midwest regions, which saw continued cold weather through the start of the month, enough to offset builds in other parts of the country. Still, inventories remained 8.3% higher than the comparative period in the previous year, while remaining 0.9% below the current five-year average.

The latest decline follows a 52 bcf withdrawal in the previous week.
