Natural gas prices fell on Thursday as the weekly EIA natural gas supply increased more than anticipated - HDFC Securities
GLOBAL MARKET ROUND UP
* Gold consolidated in range amid mixed cues; this week's hawkish Fed policy and recent lower-than-expected inflation data keep traders confused about the interest rate outlook.
* US producer prices unexpectedly declined in May, falling the most in seven months. The print added to the evidence that inflationary pressures are easing. Separate Labor Department data showed initial applications for US unemployment benefits jumped.
* Crude oil steadied after strong gains to start the week, with US economic data signaling inflation is cooling while Russia agreed to dial back output. Meanwhile, OPEC’s top official once again criticized forecasts of a looming peak in oil consumption, pushing back against a report this week from the IEA.
* Natural gas prices fell on Thursday as the weekly EIA natural gas supply increased more than anticipated. The EIA announced Thursday that natural gas stockpiles for the week ended June 7 increased by +74 bcf, exceeding the consensus of +72 bcf, keeping stocks +23.9% above their 5-year seasonal average and indicating ample supplies.
* Copper and other industrial metals saw a decline on Thursday due to a diminishing demand outlook from China and the US.
