US LNG export terminals are running at full capacity as tight global markets send domestic natural gas prices to their highest level in years. Global buyers are competing for cargoes amid a gas shortage driven by rebounding demand.
Analysts say US exports are now a driver of higher domestic prices rather than only an outlet for surplus gas.
Higher US natural gas prices raise ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer production costs and grain drying costs. The shift in US LNG exports tightens domestic supply, supporting natural gas prices.
