U.K. Natural Gas Declines on Forecast That Supplies May Outstrip Demand

(Bloomberg) -- U.K. natural gas costs fell as
forecasts indicated growing supplies may outstrip expected

Gas for same-day delivery declined 4.8 percent to 27 pence a
therm at 9:20 a.m. London time, according to prices on Bloomberg

million British thermal units. A therm is 100,000 Btus. Gas for
delivery a day ahead fell as much as 9.3 percent to 26.75 pence a
therm, according to Spectron.
