Winter 14-15 / Summer 15 Natural Gas Spread Update - Down Nearly 60% In Two Weeks


The winter 14-15 / summer 15 natural gas spread has been rapidly narrowing since topping out at a .857 high on November 21st.

This spread represents the price difference between the winter 14-15 strip (January 15-March 15) and the summer 15 (April 15-October 15) contracts.

The spread was trading as low as .157 (winter strip above summer strip price) in late-October when the market bottomed for the year.

After topping in November, the spread has fallen by .506 or 59% to the current .351 price level.

As winter heating demand enters into the natural gas market, this spread should again widen out.  A new price low under the .157 October low is not expected again this winter as the seasonal trend for the market remains sideways to higher into early-2015.
