Natural-Gas Prices Plunge as Unseasonably Warm Weather Is Forecast
Warm weather and ample supplies of natural gas have pushed prices down more than 50% since the summer to about what they cost a year ago.

The plunge is a bad omen for drillers, whose shares were among the stock market’s few winners last year. Cheaper gas is good news for households and manufacturers whose budgets have been busted and profit margins pinched by high fuel prices. Though shocks of cold and problems with pipelines could still push up regional prices, less expensive natural gas should help to cool inflation in the months ahead.
There are also major geopolitical implications. Mild weather is driving gas prices lower in Europe, too, spelling relief for the region that coming into the winter faced the possibility of rolling blackouts and factory shutdowns. The war threw energy markets into chaos, but benchmark European natural-gas prices are now less than half of what they were a month ago and lower than any point since the February invasion.
The drop is a welcome surprise for European governments that committed hundreds of billions of dollars to shield consumers and companies from high energy prices. Moscow cut supplies of gas to Europe last year in what European officials described as an attempt to undermine military and financial support for Kyiv.
So far, Russia’s strategy isn’t working. Warm weather is limiting demand, as is a European Union-led effort to curb consumption. But analysts say prices in Europe could shoot up again when the continent tries to refill stores for the 2023-24 winter without much Russian gas.
