US natural gas futures for the September 2026 contract have traded in a narrow $2.70–$2.83/MMBtu range during the week of August 10, closing near $2.77–$2.80 amid elevated production and storage levels that continue to cap upside. Record US dry-gas output near 111 Bcf/d and an EIA-projected 2026 average of 122.5 Bcf/d, combined with inventories well above the five-year average, have kept prices suppressed despite seasonal cooling demand. Hotter weather forecasts for the central and southern US in mid-August have provided near-term support by lifting power-sector burn expectations, while LNG feedgas demand remains a key swing factor. The latest EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook lowered its Q3 2026 Henry Hub forecast to $2.87/MMBtu, citing ample supply that should keep front-month contracts below $3.00 through September.

Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
Only prices achieved during an applicable trading session of the specified timeframe's business days will be considered. The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours.
The active month changes at the start of the second trading session prior to that contract's last trading session, at which point the next listed contract becomes the active month (i.e., for the final three trading sessions of the nearest listed contract, the contract for the next month is the active month).
Per CME contract specifications for Natural Gas (NG) futures, the last trading day is defined as the third last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month.
For example, if the last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month is a Thursday, the last trading session is the session for the prior Tuesday, and the next listed contract becomes the active month at the start of the trading session for the Friday of the previous week (6:00 PM ET on Thursday), assuming a standard trading calendar.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published for the Active Month Natural Gas (NG) futures contract by CME Group may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Active Month Natural Gas futures "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore?search=NGD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
