The EIA reported a +87 Bcf injection for week ending Oct 22, which was inline with the consensus. This is now the 6 week in a row where the injection exceeded both LY and the 5Yr average injection levels. For the reported week, the storage injections were highly influenced by a drop in both wind and nuclear generation relative to the week prior. The futures were already sharply lower ahead of the EIA report yesterday and kept trending lower.
For the next report the balances should be much looser with returning production and stronger wind generation. Here is a look at wind vs normal specifically. As can been seen this last report was somewhat of a normal wind week, but this next upcoming report will once again be a record wind week. On Oct 26th, wind once again hit record level of 70 GWh as a 24 hour average.
