That's a really really good question. I don't think so, MM's wouldn't control the market or the price of a huge market like NatGas spot. But in 8 days June contract will become spot....
I'd have to check the data. I'd expect the prices to flatten out as they do become one and the same within 24 hours of each other.
But if you're referring to that 2.59 print, that's a fluke. A typo of a fat finger input error imo. HH was 3.065 (3.085?) this weekend.
If this isn't clear I apologize. Just got up, rainy day here and no coffee in my brain....
