Natural Gas Futures Slip as Bitter Cold Seen Fading; Cash Mixed
Weather models hint at polar set-up easing before month’s end
Hefty storage withdrawals still on tap for next few weeks
Midwest cash strong amid below-freezing temperatures
After hinting at some weakness earlier in the week, natural gas futures moved decidedly lower on Tuesday as traders realized they may have given Punxsutawney Phil a little too much credit. With the brutal cold circulating through the Lower 48 seen fading before month’s end and a more seasonal pattern in store thereafter, the March Nymex gas futures contract settled 4.7 cents lower at $2.835. April fell 3.9 cents to $2.823.

On December 9, the United Nations released an Emissions Gap Report that tracked the progress various nations are making on their commitments to the Paris Climate Accords to reduce carbon emissions to certain targets by 2030. The U.N. has released these reports every year since the accords were signed in 2015.
The report highlights an inconvenient truth that many anti-carbon activists would rather ignore or minimize: The United States is already doing better at reducing its carbon emissions, despite having left the Paris agreements under President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, very few of the countries that signed the Paris agreement are living up to their (non-binding) commitments.
