December Nymex natural gas (NGZ24) on Friday closed sharply lower by -0.210 (-6.29%)

Dec nat-gas prices Friday retreated from a 1-year nearest-futures high and settled sharply lower.  The shift in US weather forecasts on Friday to warmer from below-normal will reduce heating demand for gas and also sparked long liquidation in nat-gas futures.  On Friday, the Commodity Weather Group said forecasts turned warmer for the west and central parts of the US from December 2-6.  

Nat-gas prices have rallied sharply this week on carryover support from a rally in European nat-gas prices to a 1-year high on an escalation of the Ukraine-Russia conflict after Russia launched a hypersonic missile into Ukraine.  The US on Thursday also sanctioned Gazprombank, the last major Russian financial institution some central European countries use to pay for the gas they still buy from Russia, which increases the risk of a cut off of some of the remaining Russian natural gas flows to Europe.
