> US natural gas futures rose about 1% to a one-week high on near-record LNG export flows and higher demand forecasts as another winter storm hit the US Northeast. March Nymex gas futures reached $3.090 per mmBtu, and Lower 48 output was 108.7 bcfd so far in February, below the December record of 109.7 bcfd.

## Why it matters

Strong LNG pull and cold demand support domestic gas prices, which feed into energy costs for feed mills and grain drying. Pipeline bottlenecks in the Permian are isolating regional prices, which limits the broader price effect.
