Limited spare LNG supply keeps global gas prices supported and exposed to shocks, which can raise fertilizer and energy costs for feed producers. Lower prices than in 2022 offer some relief.
After 74 past bullish report events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -4.0% to +11.3%), and +2.1% over 20.
