Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika EIA Erdgas Lagerbestand

US utilities withdrew 93 billion cubic feet of natural gas from storage to lower total stockpiles to 3,529 bcf on the week ending December 20, below market expectations of a 99 bcf decrease. It was a sixth consecutive draw in inventories following an anticipated start to the withdrawal season. Drops in storage were the most pronounced in the Midwest (-47 bcf) and the East (-304 bcf), in line with colder regions of the country. Despite the draw, storage remains 0.4% above the corresponding period of the previous year and 4.9% above its five-year average.
