Natural Gas Rises on Demand Gains
Natural-gas prices rose to the highest level in more than seven months on Wednesday, propelled by a boost in winter demand amid a tightening market.
Futures for February delivery advanced 10.3 cents, or 3.2%, to $3.232 a million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settle value since May 26.
While temperature forecasts show the recent extreme cold abating in the next few weeks, some traders are expecting short-term weather to drive demand higher.
