Natural Gas Price Today: U.S. Gas Holds Near $3 as Surprise Storage Draw Meets LNG Push

Natural Gas Price Today: U.S. Gas Holds Near $3 as Surprise Storage Draw Meets LNG Push

Natural gas futures in the U.S. stuck close to $3 per mmBtu on Friday, with the benchmark Henry Hub contract trading just above $2.90 after the open. A sharper storage draw than analysts had forecast supported prices, keeping the contract more or less anchored at that level. This is notable since U.S. gas prices haven’t kept pace with the global surge. Over in Europe, the Dutch TTF hub saw prices close to $17 per mmBtu this week, while Asia’s JKM sat near $21. That gap keeps the export arbitrage window wide open, even though Henry Hub hangs around $3.

US Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Surge as Oil Tumbles on Iran Reprieve

US Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Surge as Oil Tumbles on Iran Reprieve

Stocks in the U.S. surged Monday—the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 1,000 points, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained close to 2%. Oil tumbled after President Donald Trump announced a five-day delay on planned strikes targeting Iranian power plants, mentioning ongoing discussions with Tehran. Brent crude slid roughly 8%, U.S. crude lost around 7.3%, as traders pulled back from pricing in a major supply shock. The rebound was significant: Wall Street had been sliding as investors fretted the war might block the Strait of Hormuz, a route that handles about a fifth of global oil and LNG shipments, heightening inflation risks. Those concerns sent the S&P 500 to a four-month low last week and pushed expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts even further into the future.

US Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Slide as Oil Spike Hits Rate-Cut Hopes

Stocks stumbled on Thursday, with the Dow shedding about 460 points by midday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each slipped between 0.8% and 1% as a fresh surge in oil sent traders fleeing risk. Brent crude spiked above $119 a barrel early before pulling back toward $112. Over in small caps, the Russell 2000 dipped to a level 10% under its Jan. 22 high—a threshold many watchers use to mark a correction. The timing stood out—landing straight after Wednesday’s Fed-fueled rout. S&P 500 dropped 1.4%, with the Dow off 1.6% and Nasdaq down 1.5%. A stronger-than-expected inflation report, along with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks, pushed traders to dial back expectations for any quick policy easing.

US Stock Market Open Today: CPI Looms, Oracle Jumps and Oil Keeps Wall Street Off Balance

US Stock Market Open Today: CPI Looms, Oracle Jumps and Oil Keeps Wall Street Off Balance

U.S. stock futures showed little direction at 4:44 a.m. EDT—Dow futures ticked up just 0.02%, S&P 500 futures added 0.02%, while Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.06% earlier, around 3:40 a.m. ET. Traders are watching for the February Consumer Price Index report, set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET. This report drops just a week out from the Federal Reserve's meeting, and it’s hitting as stubborn gasoline prices and tariff effects muddy the outlook on inflation. Reuters-surveyed economists are looking for a 0.3% bump in February’s CPI versus January, and a 2.4% gain year-on-year. Strip out food and energy, and core CPI is expected to notch a 0.2% monthly increase, up 2.5% on the year. “Progress on lowering inflation is stalling out again,” said Sarah House, senior economist at Wells Fargo.

Gold Price Today Climbs Above $5,220 as Dollar Softens, Oil Slumps Ahead of U.S. CPI

Gold Price Today Climbs Above $5,220 as Dollar Softens, Oil Slumps Ahead of U.S. CPI

Gold bounced back Tuesday, snapping out of its earlier slump as the dollar softened and the sharp drop in oil prices dialed back inflation concerns. Spot gold gained 1.7%, trading at $5,222.74 an ounce at 1514 GMT. April U.S. gold futures advanced 2.6% to $5,234.40. Silver jumped 2.8%, platinum moved up 2.4%, but palladium edged down 0.9%. According to Bart Melek at TD Securities, the pullback in oil is easing pressure on the Federal Reserve over rate cuts. Gold’s bounce comes after the metal got knocked down on Monday by the reverse dynamic. With oil hovering close to $120 a barrel, inflation worries ramped up, the dollar strengthened, and bets on higher-for-longer U.S. rates mounted. Spot gold slid 1.5% to $5,091.62. Even so, Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals, notes that sustained conflict could keep a floor under prices as investors look for safety.

Those wild swings are scrambling expectations for growth, inflation, and interest rates—with the Fed’s March 17-18 meeting looming just days away.

Stock market today: Dow futures steady as AI scare cools, Nvidia earnings and Trump tariffs loom

Asian shares tracked higher Wednesday, with Japan’s Nikkei surging 2.2% to 58,583.12. U.S. stocks recovered from a tech slump, the S&P 500 adding 0.8% to 6,890.07, while the Dow tacked on 370 points to 49,174.50. Dow futures showed little movement as investors looked ahead to Nvidia’s results due after the bell. This week’s moves have circled around a single question: are AI innovations going to juice profits, or wipe them out? Traders have been quick to dump shares exposed to automation — what’s being dubbed on some trading desks as the “AI scare trade,” triggered by anxiety that AI could cut into swathes of software and services revenue. Then, as headlines cooled, buyers snapped stocks right back. “It’s a relief rally after broad-based, indiscriminate selling,” said Ritesh Ganeriwal, head of investment at Syfe in Singapore.
