FX.co ★ US Natural Gas Storage Rises Most Since July

US energy companies injected 85 billion cubic feet of natural gas into storage in the week ending October 2, 2026, the largest weekly build since late June, following a period of weaker restocking through the spring and summer. The addition exceeded the preliminary estimate of 79 bcf. Total inventories rose to 3.500 trillion cubic feet, 3.6% below the level recorded in the same week a year earlier, as expanded export capacity and reduced global supply from the Middle East encouraged producers to channel more LNG to overseas markets.
