    Natural gas (UNG +15%) futures soared to their largest one-day percentage gain in nearly three years after data showed a smaller than expected build in inventories. Cabot Oil & Gas (COG +8.6%) was the S&P 500's no. 2 gainer, as Morningstar says COG, with 90%-plus of its production in dry gas, "benefits or hurts the most with changes in natural gas prices." Also: WPX +4.5%, SWN +4.3%.

    It is short cover. Short sellers are always nervous when the price is near the bottom.

    It was still a build and temperatures are moderate all over the country. Not good for prices.

    Short covering but also new buying too, although I was looking for a rally didn't expect 15.7% in one day.

    Hopefully it will have some back and fill so I can load up then wait for another 15% day but I won't hold my breath on that.
