Forecasts predicting higher demand over the next two weeks and increased flow to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants drove yesterday’s 0.21% increase in natural gas prices, which closed at 235.2. Prices jumped despite indications of heightened drilling activity and a notable excess supply in storage, underscoring the market’s susceptibility to supply dynamics and demand…
Due to expectations of increased demand over the next two weeks, natural gas saw a 4.02% increase in price yesterday, finishing at 186.3. The primary cause of this increase in demand was the increased feed gas to LNG export facilities, particularly with the reopening of Freeport LNG in Texas. A persistent drop in output has…
Due to outages at Freeport LNG’s Texas facility, ample gas supplies in storage, and lower expectations for gas flows to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants, natural gas prices fell 1.5% to settle at 150.9. Forecasts for milder weather over the next two weeks fueled the decline. Even lower than expected demand was the news…
With producers actively working to reduce output in the face of a difficult market, natural gas saw a significant increase of 3.7%, ultimately settling at 151.2. A dramatic drop in prices prompted Chesapeake Energy and other major gas producers, such as Antero Resources, Comstock Resources, and EQT, to announce large reductions to their 2024 output…
The price of natural gas dropped sharply by -4.09% to 143.1, mostly due to record supply, a surplus of fuel in storage, and a decrease in heating demand. During the week ending February 16, 60 billion cubic feet of natural gas were drawn from storage; this amount was less than the 64 billion cubic feet…
Natural gas saw a notable 1.9% increase, closing at 177.2, as predictions indicated that February would be milder than expected before cooling off later in the month. According to NatGas Weather, both American and European weather models showed a milder forecast for the period of February 10–14, which would cause temperatures to drop later over…
While record output and mild weather have affected storage demand, natural gas prices increased by 0.24% to close at 207.5. Expectations of colder weather in January and higher demand for heating contributed to the price reduction. The surplus was mostly due to record gas flows to U.S. LNG export facilities. High output and abundant storage…
With record production, abundant storage, and less demand, natural gas had a significant 5.25% decrease, ending at 223.9. Contrary to the predicted withdrawal, the U.S. gas storage system saw an unexpected 10 Bcf addition. This surprised the market, especially considering the large departure from last year’s numbers. The negative outlook was reinforced by weather predictions…
Natural gas prices significantly dropped in the previous session, falling by 4.1% to close at 245.8, mostly as a result of a number of market-affecting events. The main causes of this bearish trend were record-high natural gas production, warm weather, and a larger-than-expected storage build. US utilities added 97 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural…
After a federal report confirmed a storage build in line with market expectations, natural gas had a sharp decline of -3.61%, settling at 218. U.S. utilities increased their gas storage by 64 billion cubic feet (bcf), closely matching the predicted 67 bcf increase, according to the EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration). A 10-week low of…
