Natural Gas Market Update (Dec. 20, 2025): Henry Hub Volatility, Europe’s TTF Moves, LNG Prices and 2026 Forecasts

December 20, 2025 — Natural gas markets are closing out the week with a familiar winter tug-of-war: weather forecasts softening near-term heating demand, while LNG export pull and policy shifts keep longer-term supply anxiety alive. Friday’s last traded levels (with weekend markets largely closed) show a market that’s no longer panicking about immediate shortages—but also not comfortable enough to price in a smooth ride through 2026. Below is a comprehensive roundup of the key natural gas news, forecasts, and analyses in circulation on 20.12.2025, spanning the U.S. Henry Hub benchmark, Europe’s TTF, and global LNG pricing—plus what major outlooks imply

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 19, 2025, 04:54): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Weather vs LNG Exports, Europe’s TTF Firms, and Asia LNG Slides to a 20‑Month Low

Natural Gas Prices Today (Dec. 19, 2025, 04:54): Henry Hub Whipsaws on Weather vs LNG Exports, Europe’s TTF Firms, and Asia LNG Slides to a 20‑Month Low

Natural gas markets closed the week with a split personality: U.S. futures bounced off fresh lows even as milder weather forecasts capped upside, European prices ticked higher on weaker wind output, and Asian spot LNG fell to its lowest level since April 2024 as demand stayed soft. The result is a global gas story defined by abundant supply, weather-driven volatility, and a growing debate over how profitable incremental LNG exports will be as price spreads narrow—all while major policy and project decisions reshape the outlook for 2026 and beyond.

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. In the United States, Henry Hub futures slipped to a fresh seven‑week low as forecasts turned milder and production stayed near record highs—signals that storage may be “good enough” even with winter underway. TradingView Overseas, Europe’s benchmark gas price nudged higher as expected weaker wind generation pointed to more gas burn for power, while Asia’s spot LNG market sank to a 20‑month low on soft demand and ample supply. Together, the moves underscore a

Natural Gas Price Today (Dec. 18, 2025): EIA Reports 167 Bcf Storage Draw as LNG Flows Stay Near Record

Updated 4:15 PM EST — Thursday, December 18, 2025 U.S. natural gas prices ended Thursday’s session with a familiar winter headline: storage fell sharply, but not as sharply as some traders expected — and the market sold off anyway. The January NYMEX Henry Hub contract (the U.S. benchmark) whipsawed after a morning rally and ultimately finished lower, with late-session pricing around $3.89/MMBtu and down roughly 3% on the day. Barchart.com+1 The turning point was the weekly U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) storage report, released at 10:30 a.m. ET, which showed a 167 billion cubic feet (Bcf) withdrawal for the week

NEW YORK/LONDON — Natural gas traders are ending the week’s mid-December session with a familiar tug-of-war: a winter-sized storage withdrawal and near-record LNG feedgas demand on one side, and softer near-term weather forecasts plus a still-ample U.S. storage cushion on the other. By early afternoon on Thursday, December 18, natural gas prices had swung sharply from the morning’s highs and slipped back under the psychologically important $4.00 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) level—highlighting how quickly the market is repricing every update to weather models and export flows.

Updated: Thursday, December 18, 2025 — 10:31 a.m. ET Natural gas markets are navigating a familiar winter tug-of-war: a fresh, above-average U.S. storage withdrawal that underscores how quickly cold snaps can tighten balances, versus weather forecasts that still lean warmer-than-normal into early January and could cap demand. By mid-morning Thursday, NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures (front-month January) hovered around $4.12 per mmBtu, supported by near-record LNG export feedgas demand and a modest dip in Lower 48 production.

December 17, 2025 — Natural gas prices are sending mixed signals on Wednesday as the U.S. market wrestles with mild-weather demand concerns while Europe leans bullish on a colder, less windy outlook and tighter storage. In the United States, Henry Hub futures are hovering just under the psychological $4.00 per MMBtu level after a sharp pullback earlier this week. Across the Atlantic, the Dutch TTF benchmark is rising again, supported by late-December cold risk and an outage at a major U.S. LNG export facility that could ripple into global supply.

U.S. natural gas is trading with a familiar winter tug-of-war: colder-season risk vs. suddenly warmer model runs—and, today, the warm side is winning. As of about 3:30 p.m. ET on Monday, December 15, 2025, NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures (January 2026) were near $4.02 per MMBtu, down roughly 2% on the day after an early selloff extended into the afternoon.

After a cold-driven surge to multi-year highs earlier this month, U.S. natural gas futures reversed sharply this week as weather models turned milder, production stayed near record levels, and storage—while tightening—remained comfortable for mid-December. The result: a steep weekly selloff in U.S. prices, while Europe’s TTF benchmark hovered near 19–20 month lows on robust supply and stronger wind outlooks, and Asian LNG spot markers eased toward multi-month lows amid ample cargo availability
