FX.co ★ US Natural Gas Storage Rises Less than Expected> EIA

U.S. utilities added 23 billion cubic feet of natural gas to storage in the week ending July 18, 2025, raising total inventories to 3.075 trillion cubic feet. While this increase fell slightly short of the anticipated 28 billion cubic feet, it aligned with typical seasonal patterns observed mid-summer in North America. Current storage levels are approximately 4.7% below those recorded a year earlier, yet they remain 5.9% higher than the five-year average.
