US natural gas futures rose about 4% to a two-week high as flows to LNG export plants increased and daily output dropped. Forecasts for colder weather and higher demand over the next two weeks also supported prices.
The 12-month strip climbed to $4.15 per MMBtu, its highest since December 2022.
Stronger LNG feedgas and cold-driven demand tighten the US gas balance, pushing up energy costs for feed mills and drying operations.
After 221 past bullish weather events, Natural Gas moved a median +3.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -5.2% to +14.0%), and -0.3% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
A 4% rise to a two-week high on higher LNG feedgas, lower output and colder forecasts added to the rally within the window.
