U.S. natural gas prices rise as cold freezes wells

U.S. natural gas prices gained over 2% on a Monday after cold weather froze some production wells in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Output losses during the New Year's weekend reminded the market of cold-weather supply risk.

WHY IT MATTERS

Lost production tightens U.S. gas supply, supporting prices and feeding into fertilizer and energy costs for feed producers.
