Natural gas price outlook: Henry Hub futures brace for MLK holiday as U.S. cold snap hits

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 12:27 EST — The market has closed. U.S. natural gas futures slipped Friday as traders turned their focus back to weather risks ahead of the long weekend.

Globalstar, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSAT) is back in the spotlight on December 23, 2025, after a fast run-up in recent months met a fresh dose of volatility.
