Natural gas - Summary

US natural gas prices fell to $2.58 per MMBtu on Tuesday, having touched a two-year low in the previous session, as forecasts for warmer weather continued to weigh on demand expectations. Above-normal temperatures are expected across the eastern two-thirds of the country through November 9, according to EBW Analytics Group. This outlook has reinforced expectations that a Super El Niño would bring warmer weather this winter and reduce gas demand at a time when it is usually at its highest. The rise in production also added pressure to the market, with output across the Lower 48 states averaging 113.3 bcfd over the past week. However, monthly production so far this month stood at 111.9 bcfd, remaining below the record level of 113.3 bcfd recorded in both August and September. Meanwhile, average feedgas flows to the nine major LNG export terminals rose to 18.3 bcfd in October to date, up from 17.9 bcfd in September, limiting further price declines.

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.

US Natural Gas Prices Pressured by Mild Weather Outlook

This outlook has reinforced expectations that a Super El Niño would bring warmer weather this winter and reduce gas demand at a time when it is usually at its highest. The rise in production also added pressure to the market, with output across the Lower 48 states averaging 113.3 bcfd over the past week.

US Natural Gas Prices Sink to Two-Year Low
US natural gas prices dropped to as low as $2.53 per MMBtu, their lowest level since October 2024, as warm weather forecasts dampened expectations for near-term heating demand. Meteorologists expect temperatures to remain above normal across most of the northern two-thirds of the country, likely keeping heating demand subdued in the coming weeks. Prices also faced pressure from a recovery in daily production, with output across the US Lower 48 states averaging around 113.3 bcfd over the past week. However, production so far this month stood at 111.6 bcfd, below the record highs of 113.3 bcfd in both August and September. Meanwhile, average gas flows to the nine major LNG export terminals rose to 18.2 bcfd so far in October, up from 17.9 bcfd in September, providing some underlying support.
