US gas production has been stronger than expected. The market will be hoping for a scorching summer and a quick ramp up of LNG facilities
The market has turned against US gas price bulls, again. Production is rising again from key shale plays. The power burn is lower than it was last year. Stocks remain near their five-year highs thanks to a relatively mild summer. New export capacity ramping up in the second half of the year will soak up some of the glut, but the market’s focus is likely to remain fixed on the healthy supply side of the ledger. The Appalachian Marcellus and Utica shale plays have led the output recovery.
