Interesting fact..
One bearish factor that has weighed on the futures market for most of this year has been lower spot or next-day prices at the Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana. The spot market has traded below front-month futures for 167 out of 202 trading days so far this year, according to data from financial firm LSEG.
Next-day prices at the Henry Hub were down about 8% to around $2.60 per mmBtu for Monday.
Analysts have noted that so long as spot prices remain far enough below front-month futures to cover margin and storage costs, traders should be able to lock in arbitrage profits by buying spot gas, storing it and selling a futures contract.
