Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures Futures

There may not be a more interesting fuel these days than natural gas, or nat gas as many like to call it.
The shale gas boom in the United States and other countries has transformed the energy sector, with natural gas now representing the third largest physical commodity market in the world.
Its position has a major impact on how companies and countries compete with one another today. In other words, US companies, which can pay far less for abundant natural gas to run manufacturing or even transportation operations, may have a major advantage over competitors. And with the rise in global energy demand, the search for cleaner and abundant energies will continue.
The US Energy Information Administration predicts that world energy consumption will grow by 56 percent between 2010 and 2040. Knowing natural gas supply and demand fundamentals not only helps investors in their decisions about companies and asset classes to invest in, but also may help in rounding out an investment portfolio by allowing individuals to take a position in this exciting and critical market.
CME Group’s natural gas futures offers a deep and liquid market, tradable nearly 24-hours per day.
