Natural Gas Price Forecast – Prices climbed as LNG exports grew

Natural gas costs increased. In the majority of the United States, cooler-than-normal temperatures are predicted. Compared to the prior week, supply dropped.

After four consecutive trading sessions of increases, natural gas prices reversed their upward trend on Friday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that the weather will be warmer than average for the next 6-10 days and 8-14 days throughout the majority of the United States.

As the temperature rises and cooling demand grows, prices climb. According to the LNG export tracker, LNG exports rose from 12.2 to 13.29 Dth. The natural gas supply in the United States declines from week to week. The overall average supply of natural gas decreased to 100,2 Bcf/d, a decrease of 0.4% from the previous week.
