Natural gas futures accelerated their slide lower, continuing to reel on reports showing record output and on forecasts for mild weather to continue through late November, keeping heating demand low and allowing utilities to keep injecting gas into storage for at least a couple more weeks. The lack of a storage report this week from the EIA has also added to the market volatility with investors having to rely mainly on weather forecasts. Data shows average gas output in the Lower 48 U.S. states rose to 107.3 bcfd so far in November from a record 104.2 bcfd in October. On a daily basis, output hit an all-time high of 108.0 bcfd on Saturday, topping the prior daily record of 107.7 bcfd just two days earlier on Nov. 2. Meteorologists projected the weather would go from warmer than normal from Nov. 6 to 11 to near normal from Nov. 11 to 14 and then back to warmer than normal from Nov. 15 to 21.
