We estimate that the aggregate demand for American natural gas (consumption + exports) totaled around 595 bcf for the week ending October 25 (up 0.7% w-o-w (week over week) but down 1.2% y-o-y (year over year)). The deviation from the norm remained positive but declined from +18.8% to +15.8%. We estimate that total demand has remained above the 5-year norm for 41 consecutive weeks now.
