  Delta planes collided in low-speed collision on LaGuardia taxiway. Two regional Delta jets collided while taxiing at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport late Wednesday night. No passengers were hurt, but one flight attendant was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The wing of a plane departing for Roanoke, Virginia, reportedly clipped the nose and cockpit of a jet arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, forcing passengers to deplane and take buses back to the terminal. While it’s unclear what caused the collision, it comes as a shortage of air-traffic controllers in the US has contributed to a number of aviation incidents this year.

• Natural gas storage falls short of expectations, signaling increased demand
  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Thursday reported...
  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Thursday reported a 53 Bcf injection of natural gas into storage for the week ended Sept. 26. Landing well below expectations, the result lifted natural gas prompt month futures to 11-week highs.
  
  Traders note that this marks the third consecutive week of smaller-than-expected injections, indicating that late-season cooling demand and weaker wind generation are already tightening the balance. The miss amplified buying interest, with heavy volume pushing the November contract above $3.50 intraday before sellers capped the move.
  
  The report’s findings suggest a greater demand for natural gas than initially anticipated, a factor that is bullish for natural gas prices. The forecasted figure was based on the assumption that the increase in natural gas inventories would be more than the actual figure. However, the actual number reported was significantly less than the forecasted number, implying a higher demand for natural gas.
  
  In comparison to the previous week’s data, the current number also shows a decline. The previous week’s natural gas storage was reported at 75B, indicating a drop of 22B week over week. This decrease further underscores the increased demand for natural gas in the market.

• EIA Rattles Oil Markets With Reports of Crude Oil, Product Builds
  Crude oil inventories in the...

  Crude oil inventories in the United States increased by 1.8 million barrels during the week ending September 26, after shrinking by 600,000 barrels in the week prior, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released on Wednesday. The increase brings commercial stockpiles to 416.5 million barrels according to government data, which is still 4% below the five-year average for this time of year.

  
  The EIA’s data release follows API’s figures that were released a day earlier, which suggested that crude oil inventories contracted by 3.674 million barrels.
  
  For total motor gasoline, the EIA reported an increase of 4.1 million barrels, after the week prior’s 1.1-million-barrel decrease. The most recent figures showed that average daily gasoline production had decreased to 9.3 million barrels. For middle distillates, inventories increased by 600,000 barrels, while production decreased to 5 million barrels per day. Distillate inventories decreased 1.7 million barrels in the week prior and are now 6% below the five-year average for this time of year.
  
  Total products supplied over the last four weeks slipped to 20.3 million barrels per day, up 1.2% compared to the same period last year. Gasoline demand averaged 8.7 million barrels per day during the previous four weeks, while the distillate four-week average supplied fell to 3.6 million barrels—down 4.4 percent year over year.
