US natural gas futures fell to around $2.60 per MMBtu, their lowest level since late October 2024, as ample supply and subdued demand in US continued to weigh on prices. The EIA reported a 50 Bcf injection into storage for the week ended April 3, exceeding market expectations of a 46 Bcf build and accelerating from the previous week’s 36 Bcf increase. At the same time, mild weather forecasts across key US regions are keeping heating demand low, allowing utilities to continue adding gas to storage at an above-average pace for at least several more weeks. US natural gas prices remain largely insulated from Middle Eastern supply risks, supported by near-record domestic production, comfortable storage levels, and structural constraints on LNG export capacity.

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.

Natural Gas Falls to 17-Month Low
Natural gas futures fell 0.5% to around $2.65 per MMBtu on Friday, hovering near their lowest levels since late 2024, as ample supply and weak demand continued to weigh on prices. The EIA reported a 50 Bcf injection into storage, accelerating from the previous 36 Bcf build and reinforcing expectations of a well-supplied market. At the same time, mild weather forecasts across key US regions are keeping heating demand subdued, while production remains near record highs, adding further downward pressure. Ample supply and low heating demand drove drove natural gas prices to fall 28% year-to-date.

US Natgas Prices Hold at 17-Month Low
US natural gas futures held steady at $2.67 per MMBtu on Friday, the lowest level since November 2024, pressured by a larger-than-expected storage build last week and mild weather forecasts. The EIA reported a 50 Bcf injection into storage for the week ended April 3, above market expectations of a 46 Bcf build. The increase compares with a 53 Bcf injection in the same week last year and a five-year average build of 13 Bcf. Also, forecasts point to above-normal temperatures through at least April 24, keeping gas demand subdued over the next two weeks. On the geopolitical front, markets are monitoring weekend negotiations in Islamabad, where a US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to meet Iranian officials. The talks come after Israeli strikes in Lebanon put at risk a fragile ceasefire reached earlier this week. Despite the uncertainty, US gas prices remain insulated due to strong domestic production, with export facilities already operating near their limits.
