"This market appears to be seeing spillover from the huge decline in oil pricing and with the weather factor offering little support," Ritterbusch & Associates says in a note. The firm still sees upside for natural gas exceeding the downside as weather heats up over the next 1-2 months, lifting cooling demand. Nymex natural gas is down 1.3% at $2.752/mmBtu.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
