Ampica Energy Market Signals: June 24, 2026
Natural gas is still trading in the low $3 range, supported by strong production and LNG exports back above 18 Bcf/d. Forward pricing for next winter remains relatively attractive, especially with an El Niño pattern on the radar. On the power side, May index prices averaged under 4 cents per kWh, and many 2029 months (outside of July and winter) are now pricing below the next two years. For many businesses, this is a good window to consider small, targeted hedges rather than sitting fully on the sidelines.
