The US is set to become a natural gas net exporter for the first time in six decades, driven by a boom in LNG exports. Natural gas benchmark prices averaged $2.49 per MMBtu in 2016, the lowest since 1999, well below the 10-year average of $4.42.
Rising LNG export demand supports US gas prices, but producers are expected to raise output to record levels, which should limit how far prices climb.
After 59 past bullish trade events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -2.7% to +10.6%), and +8.0% over 20.
