US natural gas futures ended lower on a decline in flows to liquefied natural gas export terminals, leaving more supply within the domestic market where stockpiles are already well above the five-year average.

Falling oil prices may also have triggered financial outflows from baskets of energy products including US gas, reversing some of Monday’s gains in gas prices.
