FxNews—Natural gas prices in the U.S. are currently around $2.36 per million British thermal units, close to the lowest in five weeks. The expected warm weather into early November could lead to lower heating needs.
Additionally, this week, there has been a reduction in the amount of gas being sent to facilities to turn into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export. Although mild weather is likely to continue, a cooler trend predicted for November may increase the demand for heating compared to October.
Regarding production, experts anticipate a potential cut in natural gas output in 2024, the first reduction since 2020 due to decreased drilling activities.
