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. Meanwhile, one of the day’s biggest policy headlines came from Australia, where the government announced a new plan to force

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 19, 2025, 04:54): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Weather vs LNG Exports, Europe’s TTF Firms, and Asia LNG Slides to a 20‑Month Low

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 19, 2025, 04:54): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Weather vs LNG Exports, Europe’s TTF Firms, and Asia LNG Slides to a 20‑Month Low

Natural gas markets closed the week with a split personality: U.S. futures bounced off fresh lows even as milder weather forecasts capped upside, European prices ticked higher on weaker wind output, and Asian spot LNG fell to its lowest level since April 2024 as demand stayed soft. The result is a global gas story defined by abundant supply, weather-driven volatility, and a growing debate over how profitable incremental LNG exports will be as price spreads narrow—all while major policy and project decisions reshape the outlook for 2026 and beyond.

Natural Gas Price Today (Dec. 18, 2025): EIA Reports 167 Bcf Storage Draw as LNG Flows Stay Near Record

Updated 4:15 PM EST — Thursday, December 18, 2025 U.S. natural gas prices ended Thursday’s session with a familiar winter headline: storage fell sharply, but not as sharply as some traders expected — and the market sold off anyway. The January NYMEX Henry Hub contract (the U.S. benchmark) whipsawed after a morning rally and ultimately finished lower, with late-session pricing around $3.89/MMBtu and down roughly 3% on the day. Barchart.com+1 The turning point was the weekly U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) storage report, released at 10:30 a.m. ET, which showed a 167 billion cubic feet (Bcf) withdrawal for the week

Natural gas prices are starting Thursday, December 18, 2025, on a firmer footing—helped by robust LNG export demand and a rebound after earlier weather-driven selling—while Europe’s benchmark contracts are nudging higher as traders weigh a colder near-term outlook against still-comfortable supply. In the U.S., the front-month NYMEX contract (January 2026) is trading around $4.09 per MMBtu, up roughly 1.7% on the day in early trading. Barchart.com+1In Europe, the Dutch TTF month-ahead benchmark is near €27.57 per MWh, up on the session as the market reacts to shifting weather and supply signals.

December 17, 2025 — Natural gas prices are sending mixed signals on Wednesday as the U.S. market wrestles with mild-weather demand concerns while Europe leans bullish on a colder, less windy outlook and tighter storage. In the United States, Henry Hub futures are hovering just under the psychological $4.00 per MMBtu level after a sharp pullback earlier this week. Across the Atlantic, the Dutch TTF benchmark is rising again, supported by late-December cold risk and an outage at a major U.S. LNG export facility that could ripple into global supply.
