Henry Hub front-month gas has struggled to hold $2/mmBtu through May as LNG export cancellations pile up, with more than 30 cargoes cancelled for June. June spot expired at $1.72, while July settled at $1.89 and August at $1.97.
Analysts expect oversupply to persist because weak international LNG prices are signaling continued softness.
Persistent cargo cancellations keep US gas prices near multi-year lows, which lowers energy costs for US processors and feed producers. The price move reflects existing trends rather than a new shock.
