Why U.S. natural gas stays calm while oil spikes:
U.S. natural gas has emerged as an "exception" amidst geopolitical conflicts. Abundant domestic supplies, continuously rising production, and LNG export capacity nearing its maximum limit mean that U.S. natural gas prices are determined primarily by domestic supply and demand dynamics, rather than by risks in the Middle East. While oil prices have been heavily impacted by the conflict, natural gas prices have experienced only limited volatility.
Market takeaway:
Natural Gas Stability → Utility and Power Stocks Relatively Defensive
Oil Price Volatility → Divergence in Energy Stocks, Uncertainty in Inflation Expectations
