据管道新闻网10月24日消息称，美国天然气期货上涨约5%，由于技术反弹，以及未来几周出口工厂结束维修中断后，随着液化天然气出口增加，需求将上升，该价格在盘中早些时候曾跌至7个月新低。

能源咨询公司Gelber & Associates的分析师表示，油价飙升主要是由于技术因素，并指出，“在超卖情况下反弹之前，价格下跌得太远太快了”。

在周一上涨之前，由于天气温和、产量创纪录和液化天然气出口较低，使得公用事业公司可以向储罐注入大量天然气，过去9周的期货价格下跌了近60%，这可能有助于降低美国消费者今年冬天的取暖成本。

主要的液化天然气中断包括伯克希尔哈撒韦能源公司在10月1日关闭其位于马里兰州的8亿立方英尺/天的Cove Point液化天然气出口工厂，计划进行约三周的维护，以及在6月8日发生爆炸后，Freeport液化天然气公司在得克萨斯州的20亿立方英尺/天的工厂因计划外工作而关闭。

U.S. Natgas Gains 5% on Technical Move, LNG Export Forecast

U.S. natural gas futures jumped about 5% after sliding to a fresh seven-month low earlier in the session on a technical rebound and expectations demand would rise as LNG exports increase once export plants exit maintenance outages in coming weeks.

Analysts at energy consulting firm Gelber & Associates said the price spike was largely due to technical factors, noting, "Prices have tumbled too far, too fast ... before rebounding amid oversold conditions."

Before Monday's gain, futures plunged almost 60% over the past nine weeks - a move that could help cut U.S. consumer heating costs this winter - due to a combination of mild weather, record output and low LNG exports that allowed utilities to inject lots of gas into storage.

Major LNG outages include Berkshire Hathaway Energy's shutdown on Oct. 1 of its 800 MMcf/d Cove Point LNG export plant in Maryland for about three weeks of planned maintenance and the shutdown of Freeport LNG's 2.0-Bcf/d plant in Texas for unplanned work after an explosion on June 8. Freeport expects the facility to return to at least partial service in early to mid-November.
