1612 ET - Natural gas futures climb over 9% for the week, as cold temperatures moved through the U.S., increasing the demand as more consumers run their heaters. What also is underpinning stronger natural gas futures is the demand for U.S. exports, says Capital Economics in a note. "The increase in U.S. natural gas prices has come alongside a surge in LNG exports, with record high volumes of feedgas flowing into export terminals," says the firm. In 2025, U.S. LNG exports have jumped to roughly 15 billion cubic meters. For today, natural gas rose 4.5% to $5.289 per mmbtu. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
