BASIS* – PG&E CG continues to fall penny by penny. SoCal Basis spends a second day being bullish. This bull run SHOULD retreat once we start injecting into Aliso Canyon 10-21-23. *

LNG* – Exports = 12.5Bcf/D.*

WEATHER* – Cooler temperatures across the US with rain in the Mid-Con, sunshine for the rest of us. Warmer than normal temperatures from the Pac NW through the Mid-Con on the 6 – 10-day forecast should keep any early heating demand at bay. Bearish forecast. *
