US Natural Gas Rises on Lower Appalachian Output, Cooler Weather US natural gas futures increased as production dropped over the weekend, led by declines in the shale fields of Appalachia. The dip in supply signals producers may be curtailing output because of low prices. Forecasts also shifted slightly cooler, indicating higher demand for the furnace and power-plant fuel as the winter heating season gets underway.
