The EIA reported a +59 Bcf injection for week ending Nov 12th, which was close to the market consensus. The range of estimates was quite tight despite the reporting period including the Thanksgiving holiday.

The draw was quite strong relative to the same week in past years, but we recognize that it could have been much larger if we did not see the big jump in domestic production and strong Canadian imports during the reporting week.

In next week’s report we once again face impacts of the holiday, but warmer  overall temps should lead to a lower draw. The storage outlook for the upcoming report is -39 Bcf today.
