Natural Gas Price Today (22.12.2025): U.S. Futures Hover Near $4 as LNG Exports Stay Strong; Australia Unveils Gas Reservation Plan

December 22, 2025 — Natural gas markets are closing in on the end of the year with a familiar tug-of-war: weather-driven demand versus record-level supply, all while LNG (liquefied natural gas) export flows keep the global market tightly connected. In the U.S., benchmark natural gas futures traded around the $4 per MMBtu level on Monday, with traders weighing milder temperature forecasts against near-record production and still-busy LNG terminals. Overseas, Europe’s benchmark gas pricing remains subdued around the high-€20s per megawatt-hour.

Monday, 22 December 2025 (22.12.2025) opens the holiday-shortened trading week with AI stocks back in the driver’s seat—but with the kind of “two steps forward, one geopolitical step sideways” energy that has defined much of 2025’s tech tape.

Global markets reflected that shift: Asian shares climbed on the back of tech-led gains, while U.S. futures nudged higher early Monday as traders
