US natural gas futures inched upwards this week despite a build in inventories and an increase in LNG terminal send-out volumes. The May contract closed on Thursday up 1.4% at $4.389 per million British thermal units thanks in part to colder weather in some areas and expectations of a large storage draw to come.
LNG send-out grew 2.4% to just under 1 billion cubic feet per day, which was still 27.3%
