中國石化新聞網訊 據今日油價網站1月4日消息 紐約商品交易所2月天然氣合約周一上午上漲3.5%,原因是天氣趨勢變冷,預計未來10天供暖需求將增加。
Bespoke氣象服務公司表示,自上周以來,美國部分地區的天氣模型已轉為「實質上更冷」,一直持續到1月中旬。
Bespoke表示:「雖然15天的氣溫總體上仍然比正常水平高,但未來8到10天將集中出現較冷的變化。這預示著臨近月中及以後的預測模型可能會再次降溫。」
本月中旬的美國氣溫偏差顯示,美國大片地區的氣溫有時會低於平均水平。
隨著天氣變冷,Refinitiv數據估計,包括出口在內的天然氣需求將從本周的1211億立方英尺/日上升至下周的1261億立方英尺/日。

Natural Gas Prices Jump On Cold Weather Forecast
Natgas February Nymex contracts jumped 3.5% Monday morning due to colder weather trends and increased heating demand forecasted for the next ten days.
Bespoke Weather Services said since last week, weather models have shifted "materially colder" for parts of the US through mid-January.
"While the 15-day period as a whole remains solidly warmer than normal, we have chipped away at a good deal of the warmth, and it is important, in our view, to note that the colder changes are focused over the next eight to 10 days," Bespoke said. "This signals risk that models toward mid-month and beyond could again be too warm."
US Temapture deviations through mid-month show large swaths of the country, at times, will record colder than average temperatures.
With colder weather ahead, Refinitiv data estimates natgas demand, including exports, would rise from 121.1 billion cubic feet per day this week to 126.1 billion cubic feet per day next week.
