The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report that natural-gas inventories held in underground storage in the lower 48 states rose by 85 billion cubic feet to about 2.12 trillion cubic feet for the week ending June 27.

The inventory level was slightly below the five-year average of about 2.18 trillion cubic feet, and well below last year's storage level of about 2.5 trillion cubic feet, according to the government data.

Natural gas for August delivery rose nearly 19 cents to settle at over $13.58 per 1,000 cubic feet on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
