Updated: Dec. 22, 2025 | 1:43 p.m. ET (18:43 UTC) Natural gas is heading into the Christmas week with a familiar winter tug-of-war: weather risk vs. supply reality.

By late morning, Reuters reported the January contract down nearly 2% at $3.901/MMBtu. By early afternoon, prices were still under pressure, with the day’s range showing how quickly sentiment has shifted: high near $4.14 and low near $3.80.
