RE: Gas over $54 Dec 2025 18:12
From Reuters - power up daily email…..
“ Hello Power Up readers,
The mindboggling growth of the United States’ liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry has turned the country into the world's top exporter of the super-chilled fuel over the past decade, but the industry is now facing an unfamiliar danger.
The huge demand for gas from LNG plants and colder weather across the northeast have pushed benchmark natural gas prices above $5 per million British thermal unit this week, their highest point in three years. At the same time, ample global LNG supplies have kept prices in demand centres in Europe and Asia at multi-year lows.
As a result, the spread between U.S. and European gas prices is today at its lowest since April 2021. This dynamic is squeezing profit margins for U.S. LNG producers, which continue to expand capacity at pace.
Things could get worse in the coming years. More on this below.”
