The rally followed an increase from the US Energy Information Administration of its estimate for the spot price. The agency in its monthly market report raised its estimate for Henry Hub by some 45% from the September forecast to $5.80/mn Btu on average for October, but suggested the price would moderate to around $4.00/mn Btu next year.
