This is your Daily Natural Gas Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Natural Gas Price Tracker. I'm your host Vanessa Clark, and wow do we have quite a story to tell you today about what's happening in the natural gas market right now.

If you've been paying attention to energy news, you know that natural gas has been on an absolute tear this week. We're talking about historic moves that we haven't seen in decades. As of today, natural gas is trading at around five dollars and forty-eight cents per million British thermal units, and that represents a twelve percent jump just from yesterday alone.

Now let me give you some perspective on just how wild this has been. Over the past three days, natural gas futures have surged approximately seventy-five percent, reaching the highest price we've seen since December of twenty twenty-two. And get this, the weekly gain is tracking at more than seventy percent, which is the largest weekly increase in records going back to nineteen ninety. That is absolutely massive.

So what's driving all of this? Well, the answer is simple, extreme Arctic cold. A severe winter storm system is expected to blanket roughly two-thirds of the country this weekend. We're talking about record-breaking temperatures, with forecasts showing average temperatures near twenty-one degrees Fahrenheit on January twenty-fourth, and staying in the low twenties through January twenty-sixth. That kind of cold drives heating demand to near record levels.

But there's more to the story. Production is currently around a three-month low, and part of this week's production decline is linked to what traders call freeze-offs in southern regions. When it gets this cold, water can freeze inside pipelines, disrupting both production and exports.

What's particularly interesting is what's happening with cash prices. The Henry Hub benchmark price for the balance of January surged to nearly thirteen dollars per million British thermal units on Thursday morning, compared to just seven dollars on Tuesday and under four dollars at the end of last week. If you're in the Northeast, pipeline-constrained areas are seeing cash prices around thirty dollars per million British thermal units.

Analysts are expecting what they're calling a monster withdrawal in natural gas supplies in the coming weeks, potentially in the three hundred fifty billion cubic feet range. If that happens, it would be the second-largest storage draw on record.

But here's the thing to remember. This is being driven by weather. If warmer temperatures arrive in the coming weeks, prices will likely drop significantly. Analysts suggest that if this Arctic front lingers through February, Henry Hub prices could test the six dollar level, but it's highly dependent on what the weather does next.

For investors and consumers alike, this is a reminder of just how volatile the natural gas market can be and how dependent it is on seasonal weather patterns.
