Looks like some short covering on the back of colder weather forecasts for next week. Still a lot of supply, though.
Likely the ongoing cold snap in the Midwest and Northeast driving up demand for heating, plus some potential supply concerns.
Could be related to the updated weather forecasts showing colder temperatures in parts of the US. Always a key driver for natural gas prices this time of year.
This seems tied to the colder weather forecasts for next week, especially in high-demand regions. Futures are reacting strongly to the potential for increased heating demand.
