US natural gas price and demand volatility
Overview
Initial forecasts for upcoming winter natural gas heating costs were divided. The American Gas Association projected a 14% decrease due to lower prices and milder weather, while the National Energy Assistance Directors Association predicted a 5.8% increase, noting that rising demand from electrification and data centers could create volatility.
By October, natural gas futures rose by 1.7% to $3.167 per million British thermal units. This price increase was driven by meteorological models forecasting a potential “Arctic blast” in the northern United States, which is expected to increase heating demand. Market pressure was further compounded by reduced domestic supplies resulting from LNG exports from Gulf states.
