  • US Natural Gas Prices Rise on Heat Forecasts Amid Strong Supply
    May 21, 2026, 5:59 PM EDT. August Nymex natural gas prices climbed 0.65% Friday, driven by forecasts of above-normal heat across the US mid-July, which could increase demand for electricity and thus natural gas. Vaisala and Atmospheric G2 forecasts predict mid-90s temperatures boosting cooling needs. However, price gains are capped by ample supply: inventories are 6.2% above their five-year average, and active US drilling rigs hit a 17-month high. Lower-48 state dry gas production rose 5.3% year-on-year to 108.3 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d), while demand edged slightly lower. US electricity output also grew 1.1% year-on-year, supporting gas consumption. Despite heat-driven demand, the balance of abundant supply and increased production limits gas price upside.
