Natural gas futures on Tuesday rose 2.8 percent to $2.50 /mmBtu. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is set to release weekly gas inventory date Thursday. According a recent article in the Wall Street Journal it is anticipated that the data will show inventories rose significantly less than the year-ago level of 86 billion cubic feet and the five-year average of 91 bcf, on increased demand from electrical utilities, who have recently switched from coal to gas.

"Narrowing in the surplus ... [is] a more important driver of natural gas pricing than the huge absolute supply level," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates. As a result of this mentality, he said, "We are leaving open the possibility of a further price advance to around the $2.61 area."
