The EIA lowered its Henry Hub spot price forecast for November 2026 through March 2027 to an average of $2.87 per MMBtu, 16% below its earlier estimate, citing warmer early-November conditions and higher storage. A Hyperliquid natural gas perpetual contract nonetheless rose 3.13% to $3.64 on the same day.

After 62 past bearish report events, Natural Gas moved a median -3.0% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -7.6% to +4.6%), and -0.5% over 20.
