Much colder-than-normal temperatures across the United States pushed U.S. natural gas demand on January 1, 2018 to 150.7 billion cubic feet, a record according to PointLogic. Higher power, industrial, and Mexican export demand plus LNG feedstock needs added to the record, and day-ahead prices neared $30/MMBtu in the Northeast.
Sustained winter demand tightens gas supply and raises power and fuel costs, while elevated gas prices increase nitrogen fertilizer and processing costs that feed through to feed prices.
