On May 15, 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its latest Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report, showing a storage increase of 110 billion cubic feet (Bcf) from the previous week. The result matched analysts’ expectations.
Despite this alignment, natural gas prices declined as traders had hoped the storage build would fall short of forecasts. Current gas inventories are 375 Bcf lower than at the same time last year but remain 57 Bcf above the five-year average. This surplus is considered a bearish factor for the market.
Traders are also watching weather forecasts, which continue to show weak demand for natural gas. Mild temperatures have limited the need for heating or cooling, reducing short-term demand pressure.
On the technical side, natural gas prices are testing a key support zone between $3.35 and $3.40. If the market breaks below this level, the next target may be around $3.05 to $3.10. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in neutral territory, suggesting room for further movement depending on upcoming developments.
Looking ahead, weather trends and storage levels will likely continue to guide price action in the natural gas market.
