Natural-gas futures dropped Tuesday, with forecasts for warmer weather dragging prices down by nearly 11% to mark their largest one-day percentage decline since February 2014, according to FactSet data. February natural gas lost 39.7 cents, or 10.7%, to end at $3.327 per million British thermal units. Oil futures, meanwhile, settled at their lowest level in about two weeks as traders waited to see if major oil producers will stick to their pledge to cut output, which kicked in at the start of the year. February West Texas Intermediate crude fell $1.39, or 2.6%, to settle at $52.33 a barrel.
