Oct nat-gas prices dropped to a 1-week low on Thursday due to a higher-than-expected build in weekly nat-gas stockpiles.

Forecaster Vaisala said Thursday that forecasts shifted warmer in the East for September 16-20, and above normal temperatures are forecast to persist throughout the country for September 21-25.
