US natgas hovers near 10-year spot low under $2/mmBtu
(Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures were little changed in early trading Friday, hovering near Thursday's 10-year spot chart low under $2 per million British thermal units as mild spring weather and record supplies hung over the market. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/20/markets-nymex-natgas-idUSL2E8FK33W20120420 Cheap natural gas feeds chemical industry boom
