OUR TAKE ON THE MARKETS
NYMEX Natural Gas
Extreme weather continues to steer natural gas and power prices. Record heat and drought increase demand. As this is only the beginning of summer, stresses on the grid will remain critical key to how prices move. Our expectations are for further push to the upside.
The technical picture for natural gas finds spot month through 2023 prices falling from $9.00+ to $5.50 where support found. The back of the curve (2024 out) has retreated to near $4 support. We encourage locking in the pullback.
