Natural Gas Market Updates

January 16, 2026 – Market Update

Another quiet day to close out the week without change much to report. Temperatures are forecasted to dip below normal in the lower 48 states this weekend before bouncing back on Wednesday. For Ontario though, the weekend should be normal, but the subsequent cold weather will likely linger for a couple weeks. However, the market is still in a position of decent production and storage reserves. American traders are preparing for a long weekend, as Monday marks Martin Luther King Day in the US, but NYMEX holding at a decrease of ~1.4% on average across the next year without much volatility indicates a cautious confidence that things should remain steady over the coming days.

Have a good weekend!
