US natural gas futures surged after the EIA reported a smaller-than-expected inventory build, with storage rising just 53bcf versus forecasts of 62bcf. Despite stocks remaining well above the five-year average, the year-on-year shortfall is lending support to prices, ING's commodity experts Ewa Manthey and Warren Patterson note.

EIA data sparks 3.8% rally in gas

"US natural gas futures rallied yesterday, with front-month Henry Hub settling 3.8% higher on the day after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a smaller-than-expected storage increase over the last week."

"The market was expecting an increase of around 62bcf. The EIA reported an increase of 53bcf. Total US natural gas storage stands at a little over 3tcf, up 6.1% from the 5-year average, but still down 5.8% year on year."

TradingKey - As of the Asian session on August 31, gold prices (XAUUSD) extended Friday's decline, briefly dipping below $4,400 intraday to hit a low of $4,396.36. Last Friday, gold closed down more than 3% as hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium significantly boosted expectations for a September rate hike. Meanwhile, the escalation of the US-Iran military conflict over the weekend and rising international oil prices have further heightened inflation concerns, placing heavy pressure on gold's upward trajectory. However, technical analysis suggests that gold still has potential for upside gains.
