Natural gas market news is more than just information for experts. The news are important signals about the future of the energy sector and economy. Understanding these trends helps us to be both informed consumers and prudent investors.

Natural gas price: what influences it?

  • Supply and demand. As in everything, the law of supply and demand also applies here. When demand for gas outweighs supply, prices may rise. Otherwise, they can fall.
  • 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.
  • The United States has become one of the largest producers of natural gas after the 'shale revolution' reshaped the country's oil and gas production.
