Trading Natural Gas Futures - Beginner's Guide

This commodity takes the third spot on the list of most used energy sources1 after oil and coal. Its use case has steadily grown over the years. It’s even expected to become the second most used energy source in the next ten years, according to the International Energy Agency.2
The United States is the world’s largest producer of natural gas, followed by Russia, Iran, and Canada in that order.3 These countries then trade the excess natural gas they produce and export it to other countries around the world. They do this through either pipeline or as liquefied natural gas (LNG) stored in super-cooled (cryogenic) tanks aboard large ships.
Natural gas has been a major source of energy around the world in the 1970s. On the other hand the US only began developing it for commercial use after 1825. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, giving it the potential for green energy production.
Fossil gas contributes to about 31.8% of the United States’ energy use according to the American Geosciences Institute.4 Today, natural gas powers many of the plants used to generate electricity. It’s also used for cooking, heating, and cooling.

Thank you Earn2Trade. I was not actually interested in trading gas; I just wanted to know how it is traded given the 2022 market chaos. There was a lot of information on supply and demand factors out there. But you really fill in the missing bit - how is it actually traded and what are the markets? Thanks again.

[@Tattvashe]

Thanks for the info.. so I want to understand why is there a rally in ng since last one week.. can u pls help understand

[@Earn2Trade]

Hi Sheetal! The price of NG is affected by so many things, we wouldn't be able to answer this in entirety in a single comment. The short yet insufficient answer is: It has been extremely hot all over on top of the correlation of other rising commodity costs. However, it can be better answered here: www.aga.org/research/data/natural-gas-prices/ Hope this helps. Have a great day!
