Natural Gas Price Today: Henry Hub Slides to a 7‑Week Low as Warm Forecasts Cap Winter Risk (Dec. 19, 2025 — 1:18 edition)

Natural gas markets ended the week with a familiar late‑December tug of war: winter still matters, but the weather outlook is doing most of the talking.

Tantramar Gas Plant Update (Dec. 19, 2025): NB Power Defends Centre Village Project as Well-Water and Blackout Debate Intensifies

TANTRAMAR, N.B. — New Brunswick’s most closely watched energy fight is now colliding with two issues residents say they can’t afford to gamble with: the reliability of the provincial power grid and the safety of local groundwater.

7 February 2026
New York, February 6, 2026, 21:13 EST — Market closed. Blackstone Inc. (BX) shares closed up 2.25% at $129.69 on Friday, after a sharp drop the day before and a bruising week for the sector.
