# Bullish outlook for US gas - LNG exporters face margin squeeze in glutted market | Wood Mackenzie

> Wood Mackenzie says US Henry Hub gas prices are rallying after a warm spell and a mid-November cold snap, with spot prices rising back to about $3/mcf. It forecasts 2017 Henry Hub at $3.70/mcf against a Nymex 2017 contract of $3.30, citing stalled L48 output and rising LNG exports.
