Natural gas prices swing again after Winter Storm Fern — Henry Hub traders eye Thursday storage data

U.S. natural gas futures fell 2.7% to $6.62 per MMBtu Tuesday, retreating from a 29% surge that sent prices to their highest since December 2022.

Lithium price drops nearly 5% in China as spot market cools; U.S. lithium stocks mixed premarket

NEW YORK, Jan 27, 2026, 07:09 EST — Premarket Battery-grade lithium carbonate prices in China dropped Tuesday, with the SMM average sliding 9,000 yuan to 172,500 yuan per metric ton. The most-active lithium carbonate futures contract fluctuated from 164,000 yuan up to 180,600 yuan. Spot sellers were reluctant to release supply, while downstream buyers mainly stuck to “as-needed” purchases, according to SMM. (Metal News) Lithium remains the key price indicator for the battery supply chain. When its price shifts sharply, it disrupts miners’ revenue forecasts and can push up cathode and cell costs well ahead of contract adjustments. The market’s

Brent crude price ticks up as U.S. winter storm hits output, traders eye next supply test

London, Jan 27, 2026, 11:59 (GMT) — Regular session Brent crude futures edged higher Tuesday after a U.S. winter storm disrupted crude production and unsettled some Gulf Coast refineries, though potential supply from Kazakhstan capped the rally. “The cold weather in the U.S. will likely cause quite significant drawdowns in oil stocks over the next few weeks,” said Tamas Varga, oil analyst at PVM. Meanwhile, ANZ’s Daniel Hynes noted that “supply risks haven’t totally evaporated.” By 1017 GMT, Brent had gained 23 cents, or 0.35%, to $65.82 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate added 29 cents to $60.92.

Natural gas just hit a 3-year high — what’s driving prices and UNG, EQT this week

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 17:19 EST — After-hours U.S. natural gas futures soared once more on Monday, climbing almost 30% to close at $6.80 per million British thermal units (mmBtu). This marked their highest finish since December 2022. The spike came after a winter storm hit energy infrastructure hard, causing producers to halt output. (Reuters) The rally is hitting electricity markets fast, driven by heating demand clashing with tight gas supplies. Pieter Mul, associate partner at PA Consulting’s energy and utilities practice, noted, “Without native supplies of natural gas, the Eastern seaboard relies on a pipeline network that is

Almonty Industries stock jumps in New York as tungsten supply anxiety keeps building

Almonty Industries stock jumps in New York as tungsten supply anxiety keeps building

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 14:54 EST — Regular session Shares of Almonty Industries Inc climbed roughly 6% to $11.79 in Monday afternoon trading, after hitting a high of $12.52 earlier. The Nasdaq-listed stock started the day at $11.89 and traded between $11.50 and $12.52. The recent shift highlights just how fast sentiment can turn around tungsten, a niche metal now seen as a proxy for “secure supply” bets. China controls most of the mined output, while U.S. defense procurement rules have set a 2027 cutoff for some Chinese- and Russia-linked sources. That’s driving investors to seek alternatives.

Lithium price jumps again in China as battery makers restock; Albemarle, peers firm in premarket

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 07:03 EST — Premarket Lithium prices in China climbed to 181,500 yuan per metric ton on Monday, marking a 6.14% jump from the previous session. The surge boosted U.S.-listed lithium stocks during premarket trading. (Trading Economics) This matters because lithium carbonate — essential for battery cathodes — influences contract negotiations and mining investments. It’s also been one of the most volatile sectors within the energy transition. When prices firm up, producer shares often react sharply, while battery manufacturers face margin pressure if they can’t shift the higher costs onto buyers. Spot and futures prices diverged

Brent oil price holds near $66 as winter storm Fern and Iran risks frame the week

London, Jan 26, 2026, 11:33 GMT — Regular session Brent crude futures nudged up Monday, rising 7 cents to $65.95 a barrel by 1107 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude crept higher as well, adding 3 cents to $61.10. The moves come after oil prices surged more than 2% amid U.S. weather disruptions and fresh uncertainty over Iran. (Reuters) This change matters because crude prices lately have reacted mainly to short, sharp supply shocks. Now, the market is testing how much strength holds up once the news cycle quiets. Though small triggers have moved prices, sustaining gains has proven difficult.
