U.S. natural gas futures climbed more than 2% to a seven-year high as record global gas prices kept demand for U.S. LNG exports strong. Prices were volatile, rising over 10% early in the session as volumes were thin ahead of the October contract's expiration, and rose despite forecasts for milder weather.
Strong LNG export demand tied to record overseas prices supports U.S. gas prices, raising input costs for ammonia-based fertilizers and energy-intensive feed processing. The price signal lifts natural gas-linked costs across the feed chain.
