Natural Gas futures ended on a bearish note
in the domestic market on Tuesday as investors and speculators indulged

Temperatures may be above normal in the Northeast and Central US from September 19 through September 28, 2015, the WSI Corp reported.

At the MCX, Natural Gas futures for September 2015 contract closed at Rs 182.6 per mmBtu, down by 0.60 per cent after opening at Rs 184.3, against the previous closing price of Rs 183.7.
