Natural gas edges up 0.60% in delayed data while reports track winter demand

Natural gas rose 0.60% from the previous close in delayed data (not live), reports say, with the front-month Henry Hub quote at $3.04 per MMBtu (a standard unit of gas energy).

One report says buying of LNG (liquefied natural gas, gas cooled for shipment) held steady in Asia and Europe. Another says US gas storage builds were seen below average while LNG reached new highs.

Reports differ on prices. Some describe gains in eastern US prices and a four-year high in Europe. Another says weather drivers missed the Lower 48 states.

The reports do not say what happens next.
