In my Q2 2025 Barchart energy report, I highlighted that the U.S. natural gas futures market led the energy sector on the downside in Q2 2025, with a 16.1% decline. Meanwhile, the NYMEX natural gas futures were 4.87% lower over the first six months of 2025, closing Q2 at $3.456 per MMBtu. I concluded with the following:
Natural gas is a seasonal energy commodity that tends to peak as winter approaches. Seasonality could support higher natural gas prices in the late third quarter and fourth quarter of 2025.
