For today’s storage report our final projection is -30 Bcf (S/D -23, Flow -37). As weather transition over to summer we see a big discrepancy between the two models. This week we take an average of the two models, as we believe the S/D alone is not catching the full storage picture.
The current Bloomberg survey is -28 and Bloomberg whisper is currently at -28 (the whisper is the average of the 17 top analysts).
Here are the current ICE storage future settles as of yesterday.
Week 1 is -30 [today’s report]
Week 2 is +28 (this seem’s very off)
Week 3 is +53
There current end of Winter 2021/22 (Apr 14th) is 1420. [Last week was 1400]
There current end of Summer 2022 (Nov 10th) is 3500. [Last week was 3550]
Today’s weather run was somewhat slight bullish with the GFS Ensemble adding GWHDDs in the 11-15 day period. Below is the 24Hr change, and the current forecast vs 10Yr normal.
