2026 Natural Gas Price Forecast: Banks Trim Price Decks, EIA Sees $4 Henry Hub

2026 Natural Gas Price Forecast: Banks Trim Price Decks, EIA Sees $4 Henry Hub

Banks that lend to the U.S. oil and gas industry trimmed their 2026 natural gas price deck to $3.43 per million British thermal units, a standard unit of heat energy, down from $3.54 in the spring, a Haynes Boone survey of 29 lenders showed. The survey also lowered the 2026 oil assumption to $55.44 a barrel and put a downside gas case at $2.79/mmBtu. MRT Those assumptions feed directly into borrowing bases and spending plans at producers as they lock in hedges and set drilling budgets for 2026. Even small shifts in the price deck can change how much cash operators expect to generate.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:35 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas prices slid sharply on Wednesday after a smaller-than-expected storage withdrawal and warmer temperature forecasts pushed front-month futures to a two-month low. Natural gas-linked stocks were mixed in after-hours trading, led lower by the commodity-tracking United States Natural Gas Fund. Barchart.com

Natural gas tops $4 again: UNG jumps, U.S. gas stocks rise on cold forecasts and storage drawNEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:00 ET — Regular session

U.S. natural gas prices firmed on Tuesday, lifting the United States Natural Gas Fund and shares of major gas-linked names as the winter demand picture tightened. Barchart.com The move matters now because storage withdrawals are accelerating into year-end just as forecasters flag colder risks for parts of the U.S. Northeast. In winter, small shifts in temperature can quickly swing heating demand and prices. EIA Information Releases+1

NEW YORK — As of 5:05 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025, U.S. stock exchanges have finished the day’s regular session and are now in the post-close window. AP News Natural gas, however, is still setting up the next trade.

Natural Gas Prices Rise Again as Colder Forecasts Return — What Henry Hub, LNG Exports, Storage Data and Today’s Stock Market Mood Mean for Investors

New York time check: It is 1:31 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025 in New York. U.S. natural gas is back in the spotlight as winter weather risk re-enters the conversation, even while Wall Street trades in a post-holiday lull near record highs. With U.S. equity benchmarks hovering close to all-time levels and trading volumes typically thinner during the last week of the year, natural gas has become one of the more reactive “macro micro” trades: a market driven by near-term temperature models, storage withdrawals, and LNG export flows—yet increasingly shaped by bigger structural debates about global LNG supply growth and the speed of renewables adoption.

December 26, 2025 — Natural gas is closing out the week with a familiar end-of-year mood: thinner holiday trading, sharper day-to-day swings, and a market still trying to decide whether winter will be a slow burn or a sudden blaze. In early Friday pricing, NYMEX natural gas futures were trading around $4.345 per MMBtu, up about 2.4% on the session, with an indicated day range roughly $4.224–$4.382. Investing

Natural Gas Price Today (10:21 GMT): Holiday Trading, Cold-Weather Forecasts and LNG Flows Set the Tone on Dec. 25, 2025

Updated: December 25, 2025 Natural gas markets are spending Christmas Day in holiday mode—with many European venues closed and U.S. trading thinned out—yet the underlying story is anything but quiet: weather-driven demand risk is rising into late December, LNG flows remain a decisive swing factor, and storage levels on both sides of the Atlantic are back in focus.

Natural gas “today” is a classic holiday-market paradox: not many people are trading, but the people who are trading can move prices. Across the major benchmarks, the story is broadly consistent—winter weather risk is back in focus, LNG demand remains a powerful support in the U.S., and Europe is watching both temperature swings and storage levels as it heads deeper into the heating season.

Natural Gas Today at 5:02 (Dec. 24, 2025): U.S. Futures Slide Toward $4.25 as Weather Models Ease Heating Demand; Europe’s TTF Ticks Higher

Natural gas markets are ending Christmas Eve with a familiar mix of volatility and contradiction: U.S. Henry Hub-linked futures are retreating after a sharp rally, while Europe’s benchmark prices are firming modestly—all as traders juggle shifting temperature models, LNG headlines, and a holiday-altered flow of “must-watch” data releases. As of today’s session on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Natural Gas futures were around $4.249 per MMBtu, down about 3.6% on the day, after opening near $4.421 and trading in a $4.183–$4.589 range.

Natural Gas Today (Dec. 24, 2025): Prices Rebound on Record LNG Demand as Europe’s TTF Softens

Natural gas markets are ending the Christmas Eve session with a familiar late-December personality: thin holiday liquidity on the surface, but big structural forces underneath. On the U.S. side, Henry Hub futures have been whipsawing—first pressured by warmer forecasts, then pulled higher by near-record LNG export demand and a wave of short-covering. In Europe, benchmark gas prices eased as traders weighed a potentially less-severe cold spell against stable Norwegian supply and an LNG system that still looks well-stocked heading into January. Meanwhile, geopolitical and infrastructure headlines—from a halt in Iranian gas flows to Iraq to fresh LNG dealmaking and Russia’s push to field ice-class LNG tankers—are keeping the global gas chessboard busy even as much of the world clocks out for the holidays. Reuters+4Hellenic Shipping News+4Hellenic Shipping News+4 U.S. natural gas futures jumped during Tuesday’s session, with the NYMEX front-month contract rising about 4% to around $4.105 per mmBtu in early trading, as record-level flows into LNG export terminals helped overpower bearish warmth in near-term weather models. Reuters-reported market data pointed to LNG feedgas running near record levels—one of the most important demand pillars for U.S. gas right now. Hellenic Shipping News
