  • US Natural Gas Prices Rise Amid Seasonal Maintenance and Supply Dynamics
    May 19, 2026, 5:44 PM EDT. US natural gas prices rose nearly 3% on Tuesday, hitting an 8-week high due to seasonal spring maintenance curbing production. Despite this, gains were limited as maintenance simultaneously reduced exports to a 4-month low, boosting domestic supply. Cooler weather forecasts also tempered demand expectations. Supportive factors include disruptions in Middle Eastern supply, notably damage at Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG plant and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, both tightening global liquefied natural gas (LNG) availability. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) raised its 2026 dry gas production forecast, reflecting near-record output and rig activity. US gas inventories remain abundant, while domestic electricity output growth and steady gas demand add complexity to price trends.
