U.S. natural gas futures touch $10 for first time since 2008
U.S. natural gas prices ...
U.S. natural gas prices punched through $10/MMBtu for the first time since 2008, continuing to follow surging European prices as supply fears are heightened by Russia's plan to halt gas flows on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany for three days of maintenance.
Nymex front-month natural gas futures (NG1:COM) +3.1% to $9.969/MMBtu after briefly touching $10.01/MMBtu in the overnight session.
The U.S. natural gas market has seen prices surge by nearly 20% this month and have nearly tripled since January 1, due largely to soaring prices in Europe that are taking a bit of a breather on Tuesday after skyrocketing in recent days.
The $10/MMBtu level might be a near-term top with some profit-taking at that level, Price Futures' Phil Flynn said.
