Natural Gas Prices Slide to 15-Month Low

WASHINGTON – With the price of natural gas at a 15-month low, the industry that supplies this mostly domestic fuel has a message to consumers: don’t get used to it.

Following a warm winter that sapped home-heating demand, U.S. natural-gas inventories have bulged to record springtime levels, and that has caused prices to plummet roughly 60 percent since their mid-December high. Many analysts anticipate a further swelling of inventories in the months ahead and say prices are susceptible to another 20 percent decline.
