This "natural gas price forecast" analysis sees improved demand from Asia’s power sectors, tightening the global balance sheet. U.S. export volumes remain key to sustaining prices near $2.75/MMBtu. The natural gas market steps into Week 40 with a steady storage buildup. Inventories are set to rise 64 BCF during Week 39 (September 22-28), reaching 3,572 BCF and surpassing last year's levels. The NGX25 contract trades above the 10-day average with notable volatility, while 2026 winter contracts hold above the interquartile range, signaling winter anticipation. Mild weather, with HDD+CDD well below 30-year averages, continues to suppress demand, driven by high production. Where natural gas finishes Tuesday will help define support and resistance dynamics. Holding above the 50-Day line at $3.07 and Monday’s high of $3.06 underscores short-term strength. More critically, sustained trade above $3.12 and eventually $3.20, the recent swing high, would clear the way for higher targets. Multiple failed recoveries of the 50-Day line in prior weeks raises the significance of today’s potential close above it. Professional traders see the "natural gas price forecast" for September pivoting on storage report surprises. Price targets hover around $2.60/MMBtu, with upward bias if industrial usage strengthens alongside crude-linked contracts.
