  • Natural Gas Prices Soar Nearly 25% Amid US Arctic Freeze Threat
    January 21, 2026, 5:30 PM EST. February Nymex natural gas futures jumped 24.78% Wednesday, hitting a six-week peak as an Arctic cold front threatens US heating demand and gas production. Forecasts predict subzero temps reaching Texas, a major gas producer with vulnerable infrastructure, risking pipeline freeze and output cuts. Over two days, prices surged 50% on disruption fears. The EIA trimmed 2026 US dry gas production forecast to 107.4 bcf/day from 109.11 bcf/day, despite current production nearing record highs around 110.5 bcf/day. US gas demand dropped 23.4% y/y, while LNG exports rose 15.7% w/w. Recent draws on gas inventories were smaller than expected, maintaining ample supply levels. Active US gas rigs fell slightly but remain elevated compared to a low last year. The cold snap underscores risks that could tighten supply amid a generally ample gas market.
