NYMEX Henry Hub Futures Price Crash Continues – Closed at $1.77

We're sad to have to report on yet another down day of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures contract. Yesterday, the NYMEX price closed at $1.77/MMBtu, the lowest closing price for the "front month" contract in 3 1/2 years (since Monday, July 27, 2020). Yesterday's closing price breaks through the latest "floor" of $1.80, an important psychological barrier traders monitor. As has been the case in recent weeks, weather is cited as the main factor in the low price. It's just not cold enough this winter to spur big domestic demand for natgas. The price is down 31.4 cents (15%) over the last five trading sessions. How much lower will it go?
