Strong supply keeps natural gas prices near $2.50-$3.50/MMBtu
In short
Natural gas prices stayed in a tight range of about $2.50 to $3.50 per MMBtu, even as oil markets were shaken by West Asian tensions. The report says record US output of 110.6 Bcf/d and weak Asian demand helped keep prices down.
This matters because gas buyers and sellers are not seeing the same shock as oil markets. The report does not say how long the calm will continue.
What the reporting says
Natural gas prices stayed around $2.50-$3.50/MMBtu despite crude oil volatility linked to West Asian geopolitical tensions, according to the report. Record US production of 110.6 Bcf/d, strong non-Gulf LNG output and weak Asian demand offset Strait of Hormuz disruption fears. The immediate effect is a mild bearish bias for Henry Hub, though the report does not specify how long it will last.
