WEEKLY DATA RELEASED Wednesday by the American Gas Association showed a draw of 73 billion cubic feet from U.S. inventories of natural gas; the decline was not as severe as some traders had feared, but nonetheless it comes at a time when supplies are considerably lower than year-ago levels. Wednesday’s spike in natural gas was a reversal from Tuesday, when predictions of milder temperatures helped moderate prices.Crude and products also finished higher on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Wednesday.
