What is the price of natural gas?
The price quoted here corresponds to the futures contract traded on the NYMEX, indexed to the US Henry Hub (Erath, Louisiana) and expressed in dollars per MMBtu, a unit of thermal energy. It is the most widely followed benchmark for the North American market.
How do I invest in natural gas?
Individual investors most often gain exposure through an ETF or ETC tracking the price of gas, through CFDs or futures for experienced traders (leveraged, higher-risk products), or indirectly by buying shares of gas and energy companies.
Why is natural gas so volatile?
Unlike oil, natural gas is difficult to store and transport at scale, which makes its price highly sensitive to local swings in supply and demand: cold or heat waves, weekly inventory levels published by the EIA, and the growth of US exports of LNG (liquefied natural gas) to Europe and Asia.
