Natural gas forward prices declined across the board from January 16 to 22 as traders looked past the cold snap to an adequately supplied market. February prompt prices fell by an average of 53.2 cents, with Rockies and Northwest hubs leading the drop.
Freeze-offs peaked at 8.9 Bcf during Winter Storm Enzo, about half the scale of January 2024's losses.
