U.K. Natural Gas Rebounds After National Grid Increases Demand Forecast

(Bloomberg) -- U.K. natural gas for delivery a day
ahead rebounded from a six-week low after demand forecasts

Gas for delivery a day ahead at the National Balancing
Point, the U.K. trading hub, gained as much as 1 percent to

pence a therm, according to broker ICAP Plc. It traded at 20.4

million British thermal units. A therm is 100,000 Btus. Gas for
same-day delivery rose 3.8 percent to 20 pence.
