US natural gas prices climbed toward $3.35 per MMBtu, the highest since early February, propelled by increased flows to liquefied natural gas export facilities and forecasts for warmer weather through July 10. This hotter weather is expected to drive up electricity demand for air conditioning in a country where gas-fired plants generate roughly 40% of the power supply. Average daily flows to major export plants rose to 17.3 billion cubic feet so far in June, up from 17.1 billion cubic feet in May, boosted by record feedgas activity at the Golden Pass facility in Texas. Simultaneously, the Energy Information Administration reported a near-normal storage injection of 76 billion cubic feet for the week ended June 19. This addition keeps domestic stockpiles about 5.7% above seasonal norms. At the same time, production in the Lower 48 states has been steady at 109.7 billion cubic feet per day so far in June, unchanged from the previous month.

Natural gas fell to 3.28 USD/MMBtu on June 26, 2026, down 0.49% from the previous day. Over the past month, Natural gas's price has risen 5.95%, but it is still 12.30% lower than a year ago, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Natural gas reached an all time high of 15.78 in December of 2005. Natural gas - data, forecasts, historical chart - was last updated on June 28 of 2026.

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.

US Natgas Prices Advance
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.
