US natural gas prices extended their losses toward $3.0/MMBtu, the lowest level in over two weeks, after a larger-than-expected storage build. The EIA reported that US energy firms added 108 billion cubic feet of gas to storage last week, above forecasts of 101 bcf. Total inventories rose to 2.686 trillion cubic feet, around 6% above the five-year average, signaling ample supply. Warmer-than-normal weather is expected through June 26, which could boost gas demand from power generators. Meanwhile, average US LNG export flows fell to 16.5 bcfd in June from 17.1 bcfd in May due to maintenance at plants including Golden Pass LNG and Freeport LNG in Texas. US Lower 48 gas production also declined to 109.0 bcfd in June from 109.7 bcfd in May.

Natural gas rose to 3.14 USD/MMBtu on June 12, 2026, up 1.75% from the previous day. Over the past month, Natural gas's price has risen 9.67%, but it is still 12.29% lower than a year ago, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Natural gas reached an all time high of 15.78 in December of 2005. Natural gas - data, forecasts, historical chart - was last updated on June 13 of 2026.

Natural gas
Natural gas is a key global energy commodity and a major component of electricity generation, heating, and industrial activity. Its prices are closely monitored due to their impact on energy costs, economic activity, and seasonal demand patterns. Natural gas futures in the United States are based on delivery at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, a central distribution point connected to an extensive network of interstate and intrastate pipelines supplying gas from major producing regions. Each contract is traded in units of 10,000 million British thermal units (mmBtu). Natural gas accounts for a significant share of U.S. energy consumption, with the United States being the world’s largest producer, followed by Russia. In recent years, the U.S. has also become the leading exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), supported by strong global demand and shifting supply dynamics. Natural gas prices displayed on Trading Economics are based on over-the-counter (OTC) and contract for difference (CFD) financial instruments and are intended to provide a general market reference only.

US Natgas Prices Fall to Over 2-Week Low
US natural gas prices extended their losses toward $3.0/MMBtu, the lowest level in over two weeks, after a larger-than-expected storage build. The EIA reported that US energy firms added 108 billion cubic feet of gas to storage last week, above forecasts of 101 bcf. Total inventories rose to 2.686 trillion cubic feet, around 6% above the five-year average, signaling ample supply. Warmer-than-normal weather is expected through June 26, which could boost gas demand from power generators. Meanwhile, average US LNG export flows fell to 16.5 bcfd in June from 17.1 bcfd in May due to maintenance at plants including Golden Pass LNG and Freeport LNG in Texas. US Lower 48 gas production also declined to 109.0 bcfd in June from 109.7 bcfd in May.

US Natural Gas Prices Edge Up
US natural gas prices edged up to $3.19 per MMBtu, supported by forecasts for above-normal temperatures in the second half of June, which are expected to boost cooling demand. However, prices remain below the recent highs seen earlier in the month. According to LSEG, average gas production in the US Lower 48 has eased to 108.8 billion cubic feet per day in June, down from 109.7 bcfd in May. While the decline in output has helped narrow the storage surplus, inventories remain about 5% above the five-year seasonal average, pointing to broadly comfortable supply conditions heading into the summer. Meanwhile, net flows to major LNG export terminals have fallen to 16.3 bcfd so far in June from 17.1 bcfd in May, as seasonal maintenance at facilities including Golden Pass and Freeport LNG in Texas continues to weigh on export volumes.

US Natgas Prices Hold Decline
US natural gas prices held onto most of their losses at around $3.14 per MMBtu after retreating from a 16-week high, pressured by ample inventories and weaker LNG export flows. Although lower output in recent weeks has helped reduce the storage surplus, inventories remain around 5% above the five-year seasonal average, indicating broadly comfortable supply conditions heading into the summer period. Adding to this, net flows to major LNG export terminals fell to 16.3 bcfd so far in June from 17.1 bcfd in May, as seasonal maintenance at facilities including Golden Pass and Freeport LNG in Texas continues to limit exports. Still, prices found support from prospects of higher weather-driven demand, with forecasts pointing to mostly above-normal temperatures through June 24.
