EIA Reports Lower Natural Gas Withdrawal Than Expected

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Thursday reported a 47 Bcf withdrawal from U.S. natural gas storage facilities during the week ending March 24. The pull came in on the lighter side of pre-report expectations. Still, it was tighter than the five-year average 17 Bcf withdrawal.
“Compared to degree days and normal seasonality, this week’s reported withdrawal is the loosest we have seen since Feb. 9,” Wood Mackenzie analyst Eric McGuire said in a note to clients Friday. “Despite having 4.5 total degree days more than the week ending March 9, the withdrawal came in 11 Bcf smaller than that corresponding week.”
The latest print was 4.2 Bcf/d looser than the five-year average, versus 2.6 Bcf/d loose on average over the previous four weeks, McGuire said.
Natural-gas futures have lost half their value in the first quarter

Most commodities have declined in the first three months of the year, with concerns over the banking crisis and a potential economic recession hitting the energy sector.
Natural gas was among those posting the largest losses, with U.S. prices for the commodity losing around half their value in the first quarter, and touching their lowest level in more than two years earlier this month.
As of March 30, the S&P GSCI, a benchmark for investments in the commodity markets, eyed a decline of more than 7% for the first quarter.
U.S. steel and iron-ore futures, meanwhile, bucked the trend to trade higher, in part due to higher demand in the wake of the reopening of China's economy.

The US and Japan are home to some of the world's best geothermal resources, yet the technology has been slow to take off and Kenya's experience scaling the energy source could be a lesson for other nations. Kenya sourced nearly 50% of its power from geothermal in 2021 -- more than any other country -- and had to overcome environmental and Indigenous concerns to get there. Geothermal is also finding success in Indonesia and Iceland.
