EIA Natural Gas Storage: release dates, results and history
EIA Natural Gas Storage last printed 85.0B on Thu, Oct 8, 2026 against a 79.0B consensus forecast and a 64.0B prior, a +0.5 standard-deviation surprise. The next release is Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 10:30 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
Thursday's report says how much gas went into storage over the week, or how much came back out. Set it against the five-year average and you know whether the market is loose or tight. Henry Hub reprices on the miss within seconds. Over a longer horizon what counts is the path storage takes through the shoulder seasons, when neither heating nor cooling demand is strong, because that path frames the winter risk premium. A swing in power burn or LNG export demand shows up here first.
The trend
How it moves Treasuries
Gas ends up in power bills and heating bills, so storage that stays genuinely tight leaks into utility CPI over time. Rates traders leave the weekly print to the energy market. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
