Natural gas futures in the United States fell as President Trump postponed plans to attack Iran's energy infrastructure and early spring weather cut domestic demand. Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics said in a report that Trump's posts about fruitful talks with Iran and reduced heating demand were a "strong double blow" for natural gas. "While the end of the war is still far from certain, this respite may be enough to allow the recent support for natural gas due to the war to fade." New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas prices fell 4.4% to $2.959 per million British thermal units.
