EQT natural gas stock slips as Henry Hub futures hit late-October low; storage report ahead

EQT natural gas stock slips as Henry Hub futures hit late-October low; storage report ahead

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:34 EST — Regular session EQT Corp (EQT.N) shares fell 0.9% to $53.01 in afternoon trading on Monday as U.S. natural gas prices weakened, keeping pressure on the country’s biggest gas-focused producer by volume. The stock’s pullback matters because producers’ cash flow and hedging plans are closely tied to the gas curve, and early-January weather can quickly reset expectations for winter demand. A few degrees in forecasts can translate into meaningful shifts in storage withdrawals and prices. Traders are also positioning for the next U.S. government storage report, which tracks how much gas is in

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas prices fall on warmer forecast — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:41 ET — Market closed EQT Corp shares finished the first trading day of 2026 lower after U.S. natural gas futures slipped on forecasts for milder weather across the country. The largest U.S. gas producer closed down 0.3% at $53.46 on Friday. Baird Maritime / Work Boat World The move matters because January is the heart of the U.S. heating season, when small shifts in temperature forecasts can swing demand and, by extension, gas prices and producer margins. Traders are also weighing record supply against the export pull from LNG terminals. Baird Maritime / Work

U.S. strike puts Venezuela natural gas in the spotlight as Eni says operations unaffected

U.S. strike puts Venezuela natural gas in the spotlight as Eni says operations unaffected

CARACAS, Jan 4, 2026, 12:46 ET Italy’s Eni said on Sunday its natural gas operations in Venezuela have not been affected by Saturday’s U.S. strikes that captured President Nicolas Maduro, as energy companies assessed security and sanctions risk after Washington said it would oversee a political transition.  Reuters The scramble matters because U.S. sanctions cover Venezuela’s oil and gas sector, forcing foreign operators to rely on U.S. authorizations — licenses that dictate whether projects can move, pay PDVSA, or export supplies. One of the biggest near-term prizes is gas, not crude: planned cross-border volumes that Trinidad and Tobago has sought

Energy Transfer stock today: ET ends 2026’s first session higher as LNG export record keeps gas flows in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:45 ET — Market closed Energy Transfer LP’s U.S.-listed units closed 0.6% higher at $16.59 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as energy infrastructure names started the year on firmer footing. The move matters now because the midstream group is being pulled between two macro forces: accelerating U.S. gas demand tied to LNG exports and shifting expectations for interest rates. Pipeline operators make money moving volumes, and the market is looking for proof that U.S. natural gas demand can stay strong into 2026. Reuters Rates remain the other key cross-current.

Natural gas price today slips on warmer outlook; UNG dips while LNG-linked stocks hold up

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 12:23 ET — Market closed U.S. natural gas futures closed out the week lower on Friday, with the benchmark contract at $3.618 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a standard energy unit. Natural-gas-linked stocks and ETFs finished mixed heading into the weekend. Investing The retreat matters now because traders are repricing winter heating demand after forecasts tilted warmer through mid-January, just as storage withdrawals have been undershooting expectations. That combination can quickly loosen the supply-demand balance that drove late-2025 volatility. Baird Maritime / Work Boat World It also lands as U.S. production and export flows

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:05 ET — Market closed U.S. natural gas prices head into next week with geopolitical risk back on the tape after U.S. forces struck Venezuela and President Donald Trump said President Nicolas Maduro was captured. Reuters For Henry Hub gas, the immediate direction still comes down to weather and storage heading deeper into winter, even as the Venezuela escalation is expected to lift volatility across the wider energy complex.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 17:06 ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas prices slid on Friday, and the main natural-gas tracking fund on U.S. exchanges moved with them. The United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), an exchange-traded fund that tracks near-dated U.S. natural gas futures, closed down 1.6% at $12.06 and was last at $12.04 in after-hours trading.

Natural gas price today: Futures slip as Cheniere stock climbs on record U.S. LNG exports

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 13:44 ET — Regular session U.S. natural gas futures edged lower on Friday, while shares of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters and pipeline operators traded higher in a mixed energy tape. Barchart The moves matter now because winter heating demand can swing quickly with temperature forecasts, and U.S. LNG exports have become a bigger, steadier source of demand for domestic gas.

Natural gas price slides today, pulling EQT, Antero stocks lower as U.S. warmth caps demand

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 10:04 ET — Regular session U.S. natural gas-linked stocks slipped on Friday as gas futures fell on expectations of weaker heating demand in early January. The move matters because winter weather changes can quickly swing consumption, storage withdrawals and cash flow expectations for producers that are most exposed to the U.S. benchmark price. It also sets the tone for the first full trading day of 2026 after a late-December selloff tied to a smaller storage withdrawal and milder forecasts.

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

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:17 ET 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 (mmBtu), 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.

Natural gas price slide drags UNG stock lower as warm U.S. forecast cools winter demand

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:00 ET — Market closed The United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) sank 6.7% on Wednesday, the last U.S. trading session of 2025, tracking a sharp pullback in U.S. natural gas prices after traders leaned into a warmer weather outlook for early January. The move matters because winter pricing is still dominated by short-term swings in heating demand, and forecasts can change quickly. A warmer-than-normal pattern typically means less gas burned for heat and fewer withdrawals from storage. It also lands as U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports keep running at high levels, tying domestic
