Analysts from RBN and others expect US natural gas prices to become more volatile as LNG exports and power-sector demand grow. The EIA forecasts US LNG exports averaging 4.7 Bcf/d in 2019 and 6.4 Bcf/d in 2020.
Feedgas volumes have peaked above 7 Bcf/d.
Rising baseload demand from LNG exports could produce sharper Henry Hub price spikes, raising energy-cost uncertainty for US feed and ethanol operations. The effect on feed commodity prices is limited.
After 17 past neutral trade events, Natural Gas moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -4.7% to +1.5%), and -4.3% over 20.
