1429 ET - U.S. natural gas inventories increased by 107 billion cubic feet last week to 2,041 Bcf, turning a deficit against the five-year average to a 5 Bcf surplus, EIA data show. The bigger-than-average increase, due in large part to mild spring weather curbing demand, was in line with the 106 Bcf estimate in a Wall Street Journal survey of analysts. The injection season got off to an early start this year thanks to mild March weather, eliminating a 230 Bcf storage deficit in seven weeks. Nymex futures extend gains following release of the EIA report, which was delayed for several hours. Gas for June delivery is up 6% at $3.526/mmBtu. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
