U.S. NatGas Price Volatility Calmed Down After a Wild Ride in 2022

Price volatility is how much and how fast a price, like the NYMEX futures price of natural gas at the Henry Hub, changes. How much the price "swings" up or down, and how suddenly, is a measure of volatility. In 2022, when the price of natgas spiked to new multi-year highs, it did so quickly. The price in 2022 also came down about as quickly as it rose, meaning extreme volatility. Since early 2022, NYMEX prices, in general, along with volatility, have settled down. The extreme price swings are gone --- at least for now. Sadly, higher prices for natgas are also gone for now.
