  • US Natural Gas Prices Rise as Weekly Inventories Fall More Than Expected
    March 26, 2026, 5:32 PM EDT. April Nymex natural gas prices rose 1.59% on Thursday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 54 billion cubic feet (bcf) drop in gas inventories for the week ended March 20, exceeding the anticipated 48 bcf decline. Despite this, gains were capped due to warmer weather forecasts reducing heating demand. Medium-term support stems from damage to Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG plant, which supplies 20% of the global liquefied natural gas market, potentially tightening global supply. U.S. gas production remains near record highs, up 4.8% year-over-year, while demand fell 11.4%. Electricity output increased 7.5% year-over-year, supporting gas demand. Though inventories are 4.9% higher than last year and above the five-year average, supply concerns linked to international disruptions underpin price strength.
