Natural gas price stock today: UNG slips as U.S. futures start 2026 lower on warmer weather outlook
U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG) closed down 1.6% at $12.06 as front-month natural gas futures fell 2.6% to $3.59 per mmBtu. Warmer weather forecasts and a smaller-than-expected storage draw pressured prices, despite near-record output and LNG exports. Traders are watching updated mid-January weather models and next week’s storage data.
