WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why It May Be Cheaper to Heat Your House This Winter · 1 Feb 2024 podcast

Basically, you use that and subsequent months – voice-verified

Big utilities, big industrial companies that buy a lot of gas, they'll use that to lock in prices down the road in the future and to do their hedging and things like that. voice-verified

Traders will look at that to place their wagers on where they think the price will go in the future. voice-verified

So we quote gas prices. voice-verified

They're spot prices, and they vary from region to region. voice-verified

When there's a snowstorm in the Northeast, the gas price will jump up temporarily in the spot market, meaning... voice-verified

I want the gas on the spot delivered right now. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So like when the winter storm came a couple weeks ago, the prices where that was hitting were running up because people in those regions were buying extra gas to make sure they had enough, usually utilities. voice-verified

What sort of will happen, though, is... voice-verified

you know, that price comes down very quickly. voice-verified

And the futures prices, because we're looking at gauging demand in March, the price won't be as volatile and responsive as to today's weather, except in the case where today's weather will cause enough gas to be burned on a national scale to really affect how much is in storage. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Outlook for Natural Gas and Heating Fuel Prices · 9 Dec 2021 podcast

Hot October means windows are open and we're not turning on the furnace.

So as this autumn progressed and been relatively mild, we haven't needed to burn a lot of gas.

Thank you for having me.

Well, you know, in the United States, we've gotten really accustomed to very low natural gas prices the last decade or so because of the shale boom.

The gas market has been generally glutted in recent years, and that's pushed prices way down.

And not only did we as consumers get used to those prices, but those prices became sort of untenable for producers.

So they've had to sort of dial back production in order to get prices high enough that they can keep drilling new gas wells.

So with that in the background, we had just a lot of uncooperative weather to start the year.
