HH Futures Price Comes Within a Whisker of Hitting $10/MMBtu

We're carefully watching for the day when the futures price of Henry Hub natural gas passes the important psychological barrier of closing above $10/MMBtu. We came close yesterday. Early yesterday the NYMEX September ("front month") contract shot up to an intraday high of $9.98. But ultimately, the price closed at the end of the day at $9.68, which was up 34.4 cents from Friday’s close (and a new 14-year high). What drove the price in this latest race to the top? Dominoes.
