據道瓊斯4月7日消息，周三美國天然氣期貨價格扭轉了早些時候的漲勢，收盤跌2.2%，至2.456美元/百萬英熱，創下1月22日以來的最低收盤價格。最近幾天，由于需求減弱和供應增加，天然氣投資者已經大幅看跌。溫和的春季天氣比往年開始得早，而且大部分地區似乎將持續整個4月份，使得用于家庭和企業降溫或取暖的天然氣需求微不足道。與此同時，分析人士表示，石油產量也在不斷上升，部分原因是油價上漲導致更多的原油開采和生產，其中通常包括伴生天然氣的生產。

Natural Gas Falls to 10-Week Low as Output Rises

Natural gas prices reverse earlier gains to end the session 2.2% lower at $2.456/mmBtu, the lowest closing price since Jan. 22. Natural gas investors have turned overwhelmingly bearish in recent days due to a combination of weakening demand and rising supply. The mild weather of spring began earlier than normal, and across most regions appears set to continue throughout April, leaving only negligible demand for gas to either cool or warm homes and businesses. At the same time, analysts say production is churning higher, in part because rising oil prices are leading to more drilling and production of crude oil, which often includes associated gas production.
