OUR TAKE ON THE MARKET
NYMEX Natural Gas

Calendar year strips are equally impressive with cal 2022 trading above 3.50 and cal 2023 above 3.00. Inflation, weather, and market bias continue to be prime movers.
The front of the curve is pricey compared to last several years. It looks to get pricier. How to manage this risk turns on the chances of selloffs versus further strengthening.
