After weeks of significant gains, U.S. natural gas prices at the Henry Hub facility plunged on Friday, dropping over 7% to $3.39 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">the lowest in a week. </a>
The sharp decline was driven by milder-than-expected cold weather forecasts and a smaller-than-anticipated inventory withdrawal, which weighed on near-term demand expectations and erased recent momentum.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Latest Natural Gas Storage Data Reveals Softer Pull</h3>
The Energy Information Administration reported Friday that natural gas inventories decreased by 116 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in the week ending Dec. 27. 
While this draw was larger than the prior week&#8217;s 93 Bcf decline, it fell short of analyst expectations for a 127 Bcf pull. For comparison, the five-year average for this time of year shows a decrease of 104 Bcf, while the same period last year saw a much smaller draw of 35 Bcf.
Despite the lower-than-expected draw, this marks the seventh consecutive week of inventory declines as colder conditions drive heating demand.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Frosty Weather Conditions Persist, But Extreme Risks Ease</h3>
The National Weather Service continues to warn of a major winter storm impacting large portions of the central Plains, Midwest and eastern U.S. through Monday. Heavy snowfall and icing are expected along key corridors, including Interstate 70 between Kansas and Indiana, and lake-effect snow will persist around the Great Lakes.
Yet, forecasts for the eight- to 15-day period turned milder, according to NatGasWeather, with American and European weather models projecting eight to 12 fewer heating degree days (HDDs) than prior estimates. This could result in less severe cold across the eastern U.S. for mid-January, moderating demand expectations.
Eli Rubin, senior analyst at EBW Analytics Group, told NaturalGasIntel that, although the market remains tight, "a severe market shortage and Henry Hub price dislocation higher to double digits appears less likely."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Natural Gas Sector Reactions</h3>
Despite the sharp drop in natural gas prices – as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – stocks of key companies in the sector demonstrated resilience on Friday.
EQT Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>), the largest natural gas producer in the U.S., saw its shares edge up 0.7%, while Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>), the leading U.S. exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), gained 1.8%, eyeing its fifth consecutive session of growth.
Midstream players also performed well, with Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>) rising 1.2% to reach levels last seen in late November, and Williams Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>) climbing 1.6%.

US Natural Gas Prices Drop Sharply As New Weather Forecasts, Lower Weekly Inventory Pull Weigh On Demand

An arctic air blast across the U.S. is driving up heating demand and creating volatile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">conditions in energy markets</a>.
What Happened: Natural gas futures bounced back Thursday morning, with February contracts climbing by over 2% to $3.71 per million British units.
According to the National Weather Center (NWC), "Periods of locally heavy coastal rains and higher elevation snow continue for much of the northwestern U.S."

The next two days will see a deluge of rain and snow over the Northwest. The heaviest moisture will target the northern California coast and Oregon today. The NWC highlighted an isolated threat of flash flooding in these areas.
"Accumulating snow is possible over the highest elevations of the Cascades, Sierra and Northern Rockies," the NWC added, noting that snow showers will continue in the Northern and Central Rockies, while rain and snow showers expand across the Northwest on Friday.
The Great Lakes region is bracing for heavy snowfall, with isolated areas expecting accumulations of up to one foot. Snowfall of six to 12 inches is also forecast for parts of the Central Appalachians by Friday.
Why It Matters: Winter weather is driving much of the action, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports continue to fuel demand as Natural Gas Intel reported.
Natural gas-related stocks posted notable gains by mid-morning Thursday, reflecting optimism about rising demand and cold-driven volatility in the market.
U.S. natural gas prices — as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) — have risen by 15% over the past month.
Pipeline giant ONEOK Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) soared 1.57%, trading at $102.28, while Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>), a major natural gas transporter, advanced 2% to $27.94.
Shares of NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGL#NYSE">NGL</a>) rose 1.2% to $5.05. It was buoyed by expectations of increased activity in the natural gas infrastructure sector.
What&#8217;s Next: Traders are anxiously awaiting Friday&#8217;s U.S. Energy Information Administration storage report.
Withdrawal estimates for the week ended Dec. 27 range from 77 to 159 billion cubic feet, with an average expectation of 127 Bcf.
If realized, the 127 Bcf draw would erase much of the 166 Bcf surplus left after last week's 93 Bcf withdrawal. For comparison, last year's pull for the same period was just 35 Bcf, while the five-year average is 104 Bcf.

Natural Gas Prices Surge As Arctic Blast Freezes US: 3 Stocks On The Move

U.S. natural gas prices jumped Thursday, with the Henry Hub benchmark – as broadly tracked by the U.S. Natural Gas Fund LLP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – climbing 6.5% to $3.59 per million British units, eyeing the highest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">close since January 2023. </a>
Since the start of the week prices are up 9.5%, cementing the likelihood of witnessing the eighth week of gains in the last nine. 
The recent rally came on the back of robust withdrawals from storage, robust domestic and global demand, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in Europe.
Rising natural gas prices spell trouble for inflation and the economy, potentially leading to higher utility bills for U.S. consumers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative">in the near future. </a>
For investors, rising natural gas prices add to the concerns sparked by a more hawkish-than-expected Federal Reserve meeting this week, in which policymakers raised inflation forecasts for next year and signaled a slower <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral">pace of rate cuts.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">EIA Data Confirms Third Consecutive Triple-Digit Storage Drop</h3>
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a 125 billion cubic feet withdrawal from natural gas storage for the week ending Dec. 13, in line with market expectations of a 126 Bcf decline. This marks the third straight week of triple-digit draws and the fifth consecutive week of inventory reductions.
The most significant declines in storage were recorded in colder regions of the Midwest, down by 48 Bcf , and East, down 34 Bcf.
As of Dec. 13, total U.S. natural gas stockpiles stood at 3,622 Bcf—0.6% higher than the same period last year and 3.8% above the five-year average.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Domestic Demand Soars, Breaking Records in 2024</h3>
The EIA's Natural Gas Annual report released Wednesday forecasted record-breaking domestic consumption in 2024, largely driven by a surge in power sector demand. 
The report revealed that AI data centers are an important source of increasing natural gas consumption.
<ul>
<li>Electric Power Sector: Natural gas use averaged 35.4 Bcf/d in 2023, a 6.7% increase (2.2 Bcf/d) from the previous year, making up 40% of total U.S. consumption.</li>
<li>Residential Sector: Consumption hit a five-year low, averaging 12.4 Bcf/d, an 8.9% drop from 2022.</li>
<li>Commercial Sector: Usage decreased by 4.8%, or 0.5 Bcf/d.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Risks Drive LNG Demand</h3>
Global liquefied natural gas markets are also influencing U.S. natural gas prices.
Uncertainty surrounding Europe&#8217;s access to Russian gas via Ukraine has prompted EU countries to seek alternative suppliers, boosting demand for U.S. LNG.
This trend is further fueled by President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s promises to expand LNG export permits. U.S. firms are already favoring lucrative LNG exports over cheaper domestic sales, amplifying the focus on global markets despite abundant local supply.
"If weather remains mild this winter as in the past two winters, we expect a relatively stable global supply-demand balance with prices similar to the previous two winters," the EIA said in a recent report. 
The agency cautioned that colder-than-expected winters in Europe or Asia could tighten supply-demand balances, leading to price spikes.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Natural Gas Stocks On The Move</h3>
Natural gas stocks outperformed within the broader energy sector on Thursday. 
Major gainers included Kinder Morgan Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NASDAQ">KMI</a>), up 2.8%, The Williams Company Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>), up 1.6% and EQT Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>), up 0.9%:

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kinder Morgan has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kinder Morgan's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kinder Morgan's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.09%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

FANG

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading lower following reports suggesting an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.

U.S. natural gas prices are on fire this month, surging by about 50% to reach $3.40 per million British thermal units as of Nov. 21, the highest level <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42113449/natural-gas-prices-spike-to-over-1-year-highs-oil-surges-to-70-as-russia-fires-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-to-ukraine">in over a year.</a>
November is poised to mark the strongest surge in natural gas at the Henry Hub pricing point since July 2022, fueled by heightened geopolitical tensions, unseasonably cold U.S. weather and rising export demand.
For investors, this sharp price rebound has cast a spotlight on natural gas stocks poised to benefit from the renewed momentum in the natural gas markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Natural Gas Prices Spiking?</h1>
The price rally has been driven by a combination of factors:
<ul>
<li>Plunging Temperatures Across the U.S.: After a relatively warmer-than-average start to the winter, the situation has drastically changed over the past few weeks. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts the first major snowfall of the season for parts of the central and northern Appalachians, with lower elevations in Pennsylvania and New York also bracing for accumulation. This colder weather has pushed demand for heating sharply higher.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Tensions Between Russia and Ukraine: Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, combined with Ukraine&#8217;s recent use of Western-made missiles to target Russian territory, has added a geopolitical risk premium to natural gas markets.</li>
<li>Supply Concerns in Europe: Austria&#8217;s OMV Group revealed earlier this month that it will stop receiving natural gas volumes from Russia&#8217;s Gazprom, reigniting fears of winter supply shortages in Europe and potentially shifting demand to the U.S. for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">7 Natural Gas Stocks Benefiting From The Rally</h1>
As natural gas prices rally, several U.S. energy companies stand to gain from higher commodity prices and increased demand. Here are seven stocks to watch:

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">6. Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>)</h4>
As the top exporter of liquefied natural gas from the U.S., Cheniere benefits from global demand for natural gas, particularly in Europe.
Cheniere Energy has gained 16% thus far this month.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">EIA Natural Gas Outlook: Winter Demand and LNG Exports To Support Prices</h1>
The EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is bullish about near-term natural price gains, supported by robust winter demand and growing LNG exports.
With colder-than-expected weather forecasted for the season, the EIA has increased its consumption estimates, particularly in residential and commercial sectors where heating needs dominate. Residential and commercial demand is now expected to average 36 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), representing a 4% increase from last winter.
In 2025, U.S. marketed natural gas production is projected to grow by 1%, with the Permian Basin leading the way with a 6% increase, followed by a 5% rise in output from the Eagle Ford region. 
The EIA anticipates Henry Hub natural gas prices — as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – to climb steadily in early 2025, averaging $2.80 per million British thermal units in the first quarter and $2.90/MMBtu for the entire year. This represents a significant 33% increase compared to the 2024 average of $2.20/MMBtu.
Liquefied natural gas exports are expected to play a critical role in driving demand next year, with exports projected to increase by nearly 2 Bcf/d in 2025. The growth in LNG capacity, coupled with sustained international demand, further strengthens the outlook for higher natural gas prices in the coming year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Natural Gas Outlook: $4.00 Delayed Until 2026</h1>
Goldman Sachs offers a more cautious perspective on natural gas prices, citing delays in the construction and operation of new LNG export facilities across the Americas.
According to analyst Samantha Dart, these delays are expected to soften the trajectory of U.S. natural gas price increases and could hinder Europe's ability to replenish its gas storage levels for the 2025 season.
Goldman Sachs revised its 2025 Henry Hub price forecast downward to $3/MMBtu, from a previous estimate of $3.40/MMBtu.
The bank also pushed its projection for U.S. natural gas prices to hit $4/MMBtu to 2026, postponing it from the fourth quarter of 2025. 
The firm indicates that while slower U.S. LNG export growth might ease domestic price pressures temporarily, it poses challenges for Europe, which will have fewer LNG cargoes at its disposal to fill storage next summer.
