US natural gas futures held most losses at around $3.15 per MMBtu after retreating from a 16-week high, as ample inventories and weaker LNG export flows weighed on prices. 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 16.4 bcfd so far in June from 17.1 bcfd in May as seasonal maintenance at several facilities continues to constrain exports. Still, prices found support from prospects of higher weather-driven demand, with forecasts pointing to mostly above-normal temperatures through June 20.

Natural gas rose to 3.15 USD/MMBtu on June 9, 2026, up 0.67% from the previous day. Over the past month, Natural gas's price has risen 8.29%, but it is still 10.81% 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 9 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. These prices do not represent official benchmark prices.

US Natgas Prices Ease from Over 16-Week High
US natural gas futures fell about 2% to $3.255/MMBtu, pulling back from a more than 16-week high reached in the previous session. LNG export demand softened as average gas flows to the nine major US export terminals declined to 16.4 billion cubic feet per day so far in June from 17.1 bcfd in May, largely due to seasonal maintenance at facilities including Golden Pass and Freeport LNG in Texas. Despite the drop in exports, weather forecasts point to above-normal temperatures through June 20, likely increasing gas consumption for power generation as cooling demand rises. On the supply side, output in the Lower 48 states averaged 108.8 bcfd so far this month, down from 109.7 bcfd in May. Analysts noted that mild spring weather allowed inventories to build at a faster pace than usual, although recent production declines likely narrowed the storage surplus to around 5% above normal from roughly 6% a week earlier. For the week, natural gas prices are down more than 1%.
