# LNG Exports Push Natural Gas Prices Up - ENGIE Resources

> An ENGIE Resources outlook says expanding US LNG export capacity is pulling more domestic gas overseas, leaving less in US storage. It cites the EIA view that rising LNG exports and higher power-sector gas use are tightening US inventories below the five-year average. The piece expects firmer gas and electricity prices for 2026 budgets.

## Why it matters

Rising LNG export flows tighten US gas inventories, which supports domestic gas prices and energy costs for feed and grain processing. Higher costs for drying and processing could carry into feed prices over the year.
