  • Abundant US nat-gas supplies pressuring prices
    January 17, 2026, 6:01 PM EST. Feb Nymex natural gas (NGG26) settled down 0.8%, keeping pressure on prices after a three-month low. Abundant US supplies weigh on the market as the EIA reported inventories about 3.4% above the five-year seasonal average. Forecasters see colder-than-normal US temperatures for much of the January 21-30 period, which could lift heating demand. Pressure from weak LNG export feedgas at Corpus Christi and Freeport allows storage to build, a bearish factor. The EIA on Tuesday trimmed its 2026 dry gas production forecast to 107.4 bcf/d. On Friday, Lower-48 gas production was about 113.0 bcf/d, while demand ran around 104.9 bcf/d, per BNEF, and LNG net flows stood at about 19.8 bcf/d. Rigs declined to 122 in the week.
