What moves natural gas
US natural gas, priced at Henry Hub, is one of the most volatile major commodities. Weather and storage drive most of its moves, with exports adding a global link.
- Weather. Cold winters raise heating demand and hot summers raise power demand for cooling. Forecast changes move the price day to day.
- Storage. Inventories compared with their usual seasonal level show whether the market is tight going into winter.
- LNG exports. Liquefied gas exports connect US prices to demand in Europe and Asia.
- Production. Output from shale basins responds to price with a lag, which creates boom-and-bust cycles.
How this forecast is made
The desk compares today's situation with every comparable situation in roughly ten years of recorded daily closes, and counts how often the market was higher 20 trading sessions later. That count is pulled toward the market's own usual habit when the sample is small, so a thin sample cannot shout. When the evidence is not there, the desk says so instead of forcing a call.
