  • Weather and season. In winter, more gas is used for heating, so the prices often rise. Meanwhile, in the warmer seasons, demand is lower, and the prices may drop too.
  • Environmental requirements. More and more countries are transitioning to clean energy sources, which may affect natural gas demand.
  • Gas as a transition fuel. Gas can be used as a source for a smoother transition to alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power.
  • Geopolitical tensions. Friction between countries may impact gas supplies and its prices.
  • Market news. Natural gas news is also actively discussed among investors and may influence their decisions.

What countries are in the lead?

  • Russia. One of the main natural gas suppliers. News about Russian gas can have a strong impact on the global market.
