Gas prices slumped to a near five-year low of $1.91/MMBtu on January 20th, with milder-than-normal weather over much of the US since the start of the year limited the need for extra gas. The liquified natural gas market has been under pressure last year as record levels of production in the US, mainly from Appalachian and Permian Basin, and slower demand growth in Asia led to a surplus environment. Historically, Natural gas reached an all time high of 15.78 in December of 2005.

Natural gas is expected to trade at 2.16 USD/MMBtu by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate it to trade at 2.38 in 12 months time.

Natural gas

Natural gas
Natural gas accounts for almost a quarter of United States energy consumption. The NYMEX Division natural gas futures contract is widely used as a national benchmark price. The futures contract trades in units of 10,000 million British thermal units (mmBtu). The price is based on delivery at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, the nexus of 16 intra- and interstate natural gas pipeline systems that draw supplies from the region's prolific gas deposits. The Natural gas market prices displayed in Trading Economics are based on over-the-counter (OTC) and contract for difference (CFD) financial instruments. Our Natural gas market prices are intended to provide you with a reference only, rather than as a basis for making trading decisions. Trading Economics does not verify any data and disclaims any obligation to do so.
