The price of natural gas for August delivery rose 7.6 percent Monday on the New York Mercantile Exchange to $6.605 per million Btu.
The big gain, which lifted gas to its highest level since June 22, was matched by an increase in the price of high-quality crude oil for September delivery to $75.05 per barrel.
Heating oil gained 4 cents to $1.972 per gallon, and gasoline increased 6 cents to $2.325 per gallon.
AAA said early Friday that the average U.S. price of regular gasoline was $2.989 per gallon.
