1513 ET - U.S. natural gas futures post modest gains for a second straight session with help from a slight warming in the weather outlook. Tomorrow's weekly inventory report from the EIA is expected to show a 44 Bcf injection into storage, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts. That would be the smallest weekly build since the end of March, leaving the inventory surplus over the five-year average at 184 Bcf, practically unchanged from 185 Bcf the week before. Nymex natural gas settles up 0.7% at $2.924/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
