Natural Gas Price Forecast: Rising to $1.8045 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Bullish Dollar
Despite easing geopolitical tensions, which lower natural gas prices by reducing supply disruptions, natural gas (NG) maintained its upward position and continued to rise around the 1.8045 mark. However, the bullish US dollar was seen as a key factor increasing prices of commodities like natural gas.
Despite ongoing talks of a potential ceasefire between Israel and Palestine, the situation in Gaza is worsening, marked by escalating bombardments that are deepening the crisis. This has contributed to supply disruptions, leading to a rise in Natural Gas (NG) prices.
Besides this, a cautious stance by the Federal Reserve on interest rates can impact investor sentiment and market dynamics, influencing commodity prices.
On the other side, Greenville LNG’s expansion in Nigeria’s LNG and CNG sector suggests increased supply, stabilizing or lowering natural gas prices due to enhanced availability and competition.
