  • U.S. Natural Gas Prices Drop on Warmer Weather, Supply Factors Sustain Pressure
    March 20, 2026, 5:19 PM EDT. Natural gas prices for April Nymex delivery fell 2.24% as US weather forecasts turned warmer, potentially lowering heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group predicts above-average temperatures in the western US through March 29, pressuring prices. However, a recent Iranian attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG export facility, which supplies 20% of global liquefied natural gas, could limit further declines. US dry gas production rose 4.8% year-on-year, nearing record highs with rigs increasing to a 2.5-year peak. Inventories surged by 35 billion cubic feet last week, well above average, indicating ample supply.
