U.S. natural gas prices leapt to their highest level in more than four years as unusually cold weather spread across much of the country. Gas stocks were very low, so the market moved to conserve supply.

Scarce storage combined with a cold snap pushes prompt gas prices sharply higher, and that raises feed costs for buyers using natural gas-linked inputs such as DDGS and energy-intensive processing. Higher gas prices also shift power generation toward coal.
