Poolside Market Chat: If Record Heat Hasn’t Moved the Natural Gas Price Needle, What Will?

Natural gas demand for power generation has soared to new heights this summer as record heat in June and July fueled air-conditioning consumption. LNG demand also is trending higher year/year as Freeport’s return has kept feed gas deliveries strong in spite of seasonal maintenance at other facilities. This begs the question: Why are natural gas prices in the dumps, and when can we expect the market to move closer into balance?

In this episode of the podcast, NGI Price & Markets Editor Leticia Gonzales is joined by Price Analysts Josiah Clinedinst and Josten Mavez to discuss everything from production trends to pipeline outages, as well as what may lie ahead for the natural gas market in the coming months.
