The EIA reported a +63 Bcf injection for week ending Oct 29, which was lower than the consensus of ~66-67. The injections continue to exceed both LY and the 5Yr average injection levels. For the reported week, the storage injections benefited from strong production levels even as season heating demand kicked in. Wind generation was also quite strong for the 3rd week in a row.

The futures were strong ahead of the EIA number, but started to sell-off shortly after despite the slightly bullish storage number (relative to expectations). For the next report the balances look to be much tighter with increasing heating demand. The result looks to be a single digit injection.

The current weather forecast shows warmer than normal  temps for next week, followed by near-normal. The cold could come mid-month has not really shown up in the GFS Ensemble or Euro Ensemble yet.
