EIA: Natural Gas Into Storage UP 71 Bcf, Slightly Above Estimates

The new front futures have reversed their down-move and are currently up 2.9 cents at $2.447.
Remember, the last expiration rolled up the contango ladder and didn't look back, running from the 2.10 area to 2.75. We don't look for that to happen this go-round but there is some upward pressure from the roll.
