Natural gas futures are trading near $2.80–$2.90 per MMBtu ahead of the week of May 18, 2026, as elevated storage inventories and mild shoulder-season weather continue to suppress near-term prices. The EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook lowered its 2026 Henry Hub average to $3.50/MMBtu while projecting robust Lower-48 dry production growth to 118.9 Bcf/d, supported by associated gas from oil plays. Ample inventories—already 7 percent above the five-year average—combined with seasonal LNG facility maintenance have reduced immediate demand, keeping the prompt-month contract subdued despite longer-term tailwinds from rising exports and power-sector consumption tied to data centers. Traders are monitoring the May 21 storage report and any early heat-wave forecasts that could lift cooling load and test resistance near $3.00.

Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session for the underlying market will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours.
Per CME contract specifications for Natural Gas (NG) futures, the last trading day is defined as the third last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month.
The active month changes at the start of the second trading session prior to that contract's last trading session, at which point the next listed contract becomes the active month (i.e., for the final three trading sessions of the nearest listed contract, the contract for the next month is the active month). The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date.
For example, if the last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month is a Thursday, the last trading session is the session for the prior Tuesday, and the next listed contract becomes the active month at the start of the trading session for the Friday of the previous week (6:00 PM ET on Thursday), assuming a standard trading calendar.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high price published for the Active Month Natural Gas (NG) futures contract by CME Group may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Active Month Natural Gas futures "High" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore?search=NGD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
