NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Natural gas futures traded near steady Friday, as market participants were reluctant to bet on further declines after prices sank to fresh 13-month lows.
Natural gas for November delivery fell 0.9 cent, or 0.3%, to $3.359 a million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The benchmark contract slid as low as $3.333/MMBtu early Friday, the lowest price since September 2009.
The last six weekly U.S. gas storage builds have together been 30% above the five-year average, bringing inventories close to last year's record highs and pressuring prices lower. The Energy Information Administration reported Thursday that inventories last week grew by 93 billion cubic feet. The injection was above both the consensus forecasts and the five-year average injection, and pushed the November contract almost 5% lower. Futures typically rise this time of year in anticipation of winter's heating demand, but the supply overhang has kept prices depressed so far.
"Right now the market is in a freefall, people are realizing that the bottom isn't in yet," said Phil Flynn, an analyst with PFGBest in Chicago. He said some traders who had tried to time the market's seasonal low point with bets that prices would rise were selling those positions Friday.
Meanwhile, meteorologists continued to monitor the development of Tropical Storm Richard in the Caribbean Sea. The storm is seen moving west toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the National Hurricane Center said, and could become a hurricane over the weekend.
The storm is not seen posing a threat to the key energy production areas of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is home to about 11% of U.S. gas production, and prices can spike if storms are seen shutting in production.
"Few traders believe that Richard is going to alter the supply balance by a molecule," said Peter Beutel, of energy-advisory firm Cameron Hanover, in a client note. "And they are much more interested in the fact that we have now had six consecutive weeks of larger-than-normal increases in underground storage levels."
