1503 ET - U.S. natural gas futures end a rangebound session near flat as cooling demand in the south and central U.S. is tempered by milder temperatures in the east and prospects that Tropical Storm Bertha could interrupt LNG exports in the Gulf and bring cooling rains to parts of Louisiana and Texas. The August contract remains "stuck between support near the upper $2.70s and resistance around the $3.00 level," Gelber & Associates says in a note. "The broader balance still leaves sellers with room to defend resistance." Nymex natural gas settles up 0.2% at $2.865/mmBtu.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
