Natural Gas - Q4 Demand and European Storage

My take on $NG for Q4: I'm putting the odds at 65% that we see $NG trade above $6.50 by mid-November. The reasoning is fairly straightforward. European storage levels are good now, but that's a lagging indicator for winter demand. We're heading into peak heating season, and while the early part of autumn has been mild, a sustained cold snap across Europe, especially if it hits hard in October, will spark a scramble. US production hasn't exactly been surging, and any significant LNG exports increase will tighten domestic supply further. The current 5.9 level feels like a comfortable pause before the real winter-demand story begins. We saw $NG hit $6.15 recently, so the market isn't allergic to higher prices on a sniff of demand.

That's a pretty bold call on NG for Q4. I'm curious, what's your take on the US storage levels and production data? Could that offset some of the European demand pressure you're expecting?
