1528 ET - U.S. natural gas futures end the day and the week higher. Prospects of strong summer demand outweigh this week's large storage build and decline in LNG exports due to maintenance at several terminals. "To the bullish side is a hotter than normal pattern still forecast for the second half of June and with expectations July will be much hotter than normal as well," NatGasWeather.com says in a note. "There's also the expectation the balance will tighten in the coming quarters, aided by additional LNG capacity coming online," the forecaster adds. Nymex natural gas settles up 2.9% at $3.784/mmBtu, and is up 9.8% from a week ago. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
