  • Natural Gas Prices Surge as US Inventory Build Falls Short of Expectations
    May 1, 2026, 12:39 AM EDT. Natural gas prices climbed 4.53% on Thursday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a storage build of 79 billion cubic feet (bcf), below the expected 83 bcf. Despite inventories remaining 7.7% above the five-year average, forecasts of below-normal temperatures in the eastern U.S. suggest increased heating demand. Production remains near record highs, with April 24 dry gas output at 110.5 bcf/day, yet global supply concerns persist. Damage to Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG export facilities and potential extended closure of the Strait of Hormuz may tighten liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, supporting U.S. exports. Electricity generation rose 0.7% year-on-year, further indicating sustained gas demand. The mixed inventory data combined with geopolitical developments continue to influence natural gas market dynamics.
