  • US Natural Gas Prices Drop Amid Mild Weather and Rising Production Forecasts
    April 10, 2026, 5:08 PM EDT. May Nymex natural gas prices fell 0.82% to a 7.5-month low on Friday, pressured by forecasts of mild U.S. spring weather reducing heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group predicts above-average temperatures across the eastern U.S. through April 19. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) increased its 2026 dry natural gas production forecast to 109.59 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d). Current production near record highs and a 2.5-year peak in active rigs further weigh on prices. Despite these bearish cues, limited global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies offer medium-term support, worsened by damage at Qatar's Ras Laffan export plant, a key global LNG source. Rising U.S. electricity output and higher-than-expected inventory builds also contribute to downward pressure on gas prices.
