US Natgas Prices Advance

2026-06-25 03:41 By Judith Sib-at 1 min. read

US natural gas prices rose more than 2% to around $3.29 per MMBtu as weather forecasts turned hotter, while investors awaited weekly inventory data.

Forecasters said above-average temperatures are expected across the mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest through July 3, lifting gas-for-power demand.

Expectations of a smaller-than-average storage build also supported prices, with inventories forecast to increase by 67 bcf for the week ended June 19, below the five-year average gain of 75 bcf for the period.

Additional support came from improved LNG export activity, with average gas flows to major US LNG export facilities rising to 17.3 bcfd so far in June from 17.1 bcfd in May, partly driven by record feedgas at the Golden Pass.

Moreover, production in the US Lower 48 states fell to 109.5 bcfd so far in June from 109.7 bcfd in May.

US Natgas Prices Hold Decline
US natural gas prices hovered around $3.15 per MMBtu after falling more than 3% in the previous session, weighed down by abundant stockpiles and cooler weather pointing to softer demand. Weather forecasts indicate below-average temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic region between June 23 and 27, likely curbing air-conditioning-driven power demand. The cooler outlook follows a mild spring that enabled energy companies to build larger-than-usual gas inventories, with stockpiles currently around 5.8% above normal. In addition, recent maintenance-related reductions in gas flows to US LNG export terminals have redirected more supply to the domestic market. This added availability has more than offset a slight dip in production, with output in the Lower 48 states slipping to 109.5 bcfd so far in June from 109.7 bcfd in May.

US Natgas Prices Edge Down
US natural gas prices declined to $3.2 per MMBtu due to ample storage volumes and updated weather forecasts predicting cooler temperatures. Forecasters expect below-average temperatures in the mid-Atlantic region from June 23 to 27, which will likely reduce power demand for air conditioning. This weather shift follows a mild spring that allowed energy companies to aggressively stockpile gas, keeping domestic inventories approximately 5.8% above normal levels. Furthermore, a reduction in gas flows to US liquefied natural gas export terminals has diverted more supply into the domestic market. This increased availability has overshadowed a slight decline in production, as average daily gas output in the Lower 48 states dipped to 109.5 billion cubic feet so far in June from 109.7 billion cubic feet in May.
