Natural gas futures for the week of May 18, 2026, trade near $2.90 per MMBtu, pressured by elevated U.S. storage inventories that sit roughly 50 billion cubic feet above the five-year average following consistent injection-season builds. Record Lower 48 production near 118 billion cubic feet per day, supported by associated gas from the Permian, continues to weigh on prices despite modest curtailments at some operators. The primary near-term catalyst is seasonal demand, with NOAA forecasts calling for well-above-normal temperatures across the eastern United States from May 18–24 that could lift power-sector cooling loads. EIA data showing an 85 billion cubic feet build last week aligned with expectations and reinforced the supply overhang, while LNG export flows remain near seasonal norms amid maintenance. Traders will monitor the next storage report and any heat-related demand spikes for signals on whether prices can sustain levels above $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.
