U.S. natural gas markets enter the week of May 18 with Henry Hub futures hovering near $2.80–$2.90 per MMBtu, shaped by record production levels and elevated storage. The EIA’s May Short-Term Energy Outlook projects 2026 dry-gas output rising to 110.6 billion cubic feet per day while domestic consumption edges lower to 91.2 bcfd, keeping inventories 51 Bcf above year-ago levels after an 85 Bcf build that aligned with seasonal norms. Mild temperatures through mid-month have capped power-sector demand, yet National Weather Service forecasts for above-normal heat across the eastern U.S. from May 18–24 could lift cooling-degree days and provide near-term support. Traders are watching the next weekly storage release and any acceleration in LNG export flows for signals on whether prices can sustain above the $2.80–$3.00 band or face renewed pressure from ample supply.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during the week of May 18 2026, any 1-minute candle for the Active Month of Natural Gas futures has a final "High" price equal to or above the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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".

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).
