U.S. natgas jumps 4% on rising demand, renewed rail strike worries

BOE Report U.S. natural gas futures jumped about 4% to a near one-week high on Wednesday, on forecasts for stronger U.S. gas demand this week than previously expected and renewed worries about a possible U.S. rail strike. A rail strike could boost demand for gas by threatening coal supplies to power plants. Coal fuels about 20% of U.S. power generation.
