在截至1月24日的一周内，美国公用事业公司从储存中提取了3210亿立方英尺（bcf）的天然气，使总库存降至2571亿立方英尺。在极端寒冷的推动下，撤资超过了市场预期的3130亿立方英尺。下降幅度最大的是中南部地区（-136亿立方英尺），其次是中西部地区（-83亿平方英尺）和东部地区（-61亿立方英尺。这是有记录以来第四次每周提款超过3000亿立方英尺，尽管仍低于2018年1月冻结期间创下的3590亿立方英尺的记录。自2022年1月以来，最近的一次缩减首次抹去了五年平均水平的少量天然气盈余。现在的存储水平比去年同期低5.3%，比五年平均水平低4.1%。

US utilities withdrew 321 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas from storage in the week ending January 24, reducing total inventories to 2,571 bcf. The withdrawal exceeded market expectations of 313 bcf, driven by extreme cold. The sharpest declines occurred in the South Central region (-136 bcf), followed by the Midwest (-83 bcf) and the East (-61 bcf). This was the fourth time on record that weekly withdrawals surpassed 300 bcf, though it remained below the 359 bcf record set during a freezing spell in January 2018. The latest drawdown erased the small gas surplus over the five-year average for the first time since January 2022. Storage levels are now 5.3% lower than the same period last year and 4.1% below the five-year average.

2024年12月，美国待售房屋销售比上月收缩5.5%，与市场对停滞的预期形成鲜明对比，这是自7月以来的首次收缩。在美国主要地区，西部（-10.3%）、西部（-8.1%）、中西部（-4.9%）和南部（-2.7%）的待售销售额大幅下降。NAR首席经济学家Lawrence Yun表示：“在合同签约量连续四个月增长之后，后退一步并不是什么好消息，但这并不完全令人惊讶。”。“经济数据从不直线移动。由于现金交易数量增加，高抵押贷款利率并没有显著削弱住房需求。”

Pending home sales in the United States contracted by 5.5% from the previous month in December of 2024, contrasting sharply with market expectations of a stall, to mark the first contraction since July. Across major US regions, pending sales fell sharply for the West (-10.3%), West (-8.1%), Midwest (-4.9%), and the South (-2.7%). “After four straight months of gains in contract signings, one step back is not welcome news, but it is not entirely surprising,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Economic data never moves in a straight line. High mortgage rates have not significantly dented housing demand due to greater numbers of cash transactions.”
