This is your Natural Gas podcast.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Daily Natural Gas Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the latest on natural gas prices, fresh market moves, and what's shaking things up globally.

Right now, natural gas is trading around 2.73 dollars per million BTU, up a slight 0.55 percent from yesterday's close of 2.726, according to FX Empire's live charts. But keep an eye on futures, as they're hovering near 2.83 with a tiny 0.21 percent bump, per Investing.com data. Earlier this week, spot prices were fluctuating between 2.59 and recent highs around 3 dollars, with year-to-date down over 33 percent amid volatile swings.

The big story heating things up? Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Iran just attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz, defying President Trump's ceasefire extension, as reported on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Fox News Hannity called Iran beaten and battered, while NY Times business coverage notes the war's rippling effects on energy markets. Analysts on TradingView warn prices could spike toward 3.75 dollars if Middle East risks escalate, pushing natural gas, oil, and even fertilizers higher through year-end.

EIA data shows Henry Hub spot prices kicked off 2026 strong at 7.72 in January but cooled to 3.04 by March, reflecting seasonal demand shifts. With volumes up lately but prices dipping in recent sessions, support sits near 2.94, while resistance looms at 3.29.

For traders, watch for openings around these levels and stay nimble. Tip of the day: Diversify with hedges if you're exposed, and track Strait news closely, as it could send prices soaring.
