US Nat-Gas Poised to Rally on Rising Demand for HeatingTightening supplies, fluctuating inventories, and volatile geopolitics present intriguing risk management and trading possibilities in US Liquified Natural Gas ("US LNG") markets. Colder weather forecasts, robust LNG exports, and Europe's increasing dependence on US LNG continues to reshape global energy trade. US LNG PRICES REBOUND IN NOVEMBER ON IMPROVING DEMAND OUTLOOK Henry Hub Natural Gas prices are up 9.2% month-to-date supported by lower output, colder weather forecasts, higher European gas prices (Dutch TTF), and increased feed gas to US LNG facilities. A supply disruption stemming from Hurricane Rafael halted 16% of US LNG production in the Gulf of Mexico. However, production quickly recovered with the hurricane dissipating. Weather forecasts have fluctuated, creating demand uncertainty. While warmer-than-expected November forecasts briefly pulled prices back, they failed to reverse the overall uptrend. European gas prices are spiking driven by colder weather forecasts, reduced wind power generation, & lower Norwegian gas supplies. Since the start of this month, TTF has climbed 15.5% reaching its highest level since November last year. The increase in Dutch TTF prices added upward pressure. Colder European forecasts have redirected LNG shipments to the region. US LNG export activity also surged, with daily feed gas flows to export plants hitting a 10-month high on 15/Nov. Exports to seven major LNG facilities averaged 13.3 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in November, up from 13.1 bcfd in October, reflecting strong international demand. Meanwhile, natural gas production in the Lower 48 states fell to 100.3 bcfd in November from 101.3 bcfd in October, further tightening supply. Source: EIA Over the past four weeks, storage injections exceeded the five-year average, reversing a 14-week streak (12/Jul-11/Oct) of below-average builds. While inventories may rise briefly, the first withdrawals of the winter season are approaching. Initial draws might be modest, but demand is expected to strengthen as winter progresses. US LNG EXPORTS SURGE AS EUROPE SCRAMBLES TO REPLACE RUSSIAN IMPORTS Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU has sought alternative energy suppliers, relying heavily on the US, which accounted for 48% of EU LNG imports in H1 2024 (versus Russia's 16%). The US became the largest LNG exporter globally in 2023. From 2018 through 2021, US LNG exports to Europe averaged around 15 million tons a year. In 2022 and 2023, they jumped to 55 million tons a year as European power generators scrambled to replace Russian gas by whatever means necessary. Source: EIA This trend is expected to continue as EIA expects US LNG export capacity to grow by 9.7 bcfd, to touch 24.4 bcfd by 2028. In its latest short-term energy outlook , the EIA expects US LNG exports to grow by 1.7% YoY in 2024 and 14% YoY in 2025. Source: EIA So far in 2024, between Jan-Aug, US exports rose by 1.4% YoY. A surge in natural gas exports to Europe, combined with the massive power demand from new AI data centers, could lead US LNG prices to rise. The EIA expects average Henry Hub prices to rise 33.6% to USD 2.9/MMBtu in 2025. TRUMP’S RETURN TO PRESIDENCY PRESENTS A MIXED BAG FOR THE US LNG MARKET Trump's re-election presents mixed implications for the US LNG market. While his policies could support the buildup of gas & LNG infrastructure, they might also curtail LNG exports to China. Under President Biden, the US paused permits for new LNG projects (earlier this January) to assess environmental & economic impact. This raised concerns over a slowdown in US LNG exports. However, the Trump administration is expected to expedite LNG permits with fewer environmental restrictions. Source: EIA Trump’s policies could also revive protectionist measures, potentially intensify trade tensions with China. If Trump implements higher tariffs on Chinese goods, retaliatory tariffs on US LNG could follow, as seen during his first term in 2018-19. Since then, US LNG deliveries to China have plummeted since its high in 2021. HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP CME Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures are poised to rise amid growing heating demand into winter season and Europe's continued reliance on US LNG. The options skew for Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures reached 30.69 on 18/Nov, up significantly from 6.66 on 03/Sep. This sharp rise signals growing bullish expectations, with calls becoming increasingly expensive relative to puts. Source: CME Group US Nat Gas January Futures Contract trades at USD 3.182/MMBtu which is 21.6% below the five-year average. Amid the fundamental forces at play, this paper posits a hypothetical trade setup of long CME Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas January Futures Contract (expiring on 26/Dec) at USD 3.150/MMBtu with a stop at USD 2.840/MMBtu and target at USD 3.60/MMBtu resulting in a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.45x. Each Micro Henry Hub Nature Gas Futures contract has 1,000 MMBtu Over the past five years, Henry Hub prices typically declined from mid-November to year-end. The rapid surge in US LNG exports to Europe, now nearly half of the continent’s imports, is expected to offset any moderation in US heating demand. Standard Henry Hub Futures can be used in the same way as the Micro Henry Hub Futures to express a bullish outlook on the US LNG market. Unlike the standard CME Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures contract, the micro contract requires a margin of USD 258/lot as of 19th November 2024. • Entry: USD 3.150/MMBtu • Target: USD 3.600/MMBtu • Stop-Loss: USD 2.840/MMBtu • Profit at Target: USD 450/lot • Loss at Stop: USD 310/lot • Reward-to-Risk Ratio: 1.45x MARKET DATA CME Real-time Market Data helps identify trading set-ups and express market views better.

Options Blueprint Series [Basic]: Ready to Strangle a BreakoutIntroduction: Why Natural Gas is Poised for Volatility Natural Gas markets are showing signs of a potential volatility surge as recent data from the United States Natural Gas Stocks Change (USNGSC) displays a rare narrowing of the 21-day Bollinger Bands®. This technical setup often precedes sharp market moves, suggesting an upcoming breakout. Given the importance of fundamental shifts in natural gas inventory data, any unexpected change in USNGSC could significantly impact Natural Gas Futures (NG1!), leading to price movements in either direction. This Options Blueprint Series explores a strategy to capitalize on this anticipated volatility: the Long Strangle Strategy. By setting up positions that profit from sharp directional moves, traders may capture gains regardless of the direction in which the price moves. Understanding the Long Strangle Strategy A Long Strangle involves purchasing a call option at a higher strike price and a put option at a lower strike price. This setup allows traders to profit from significant price movements in either direction. The chosen strategy for this analysis includes: Expiration: February 25, 2025 Strikes: 2.5 put at 0.28 and 2.7 call at 0.29 This setup is ideal for capturing potential breakouts, with limited risk equal to the total premium paid. Unlike directional trades, a Long Strangle does not require forecasting the direction of the move, only that a substantial price change occurs before expiration. Technical Analysis with Bollinger Bands® The 21-day Bollinger Bands® applied to USNGSC have narrowed significantly, often an indicator that the market is building up pressure for a breakout. Historically, this type of setup in fundamental data can drive volatility in Natural Gas Futures. When the Bollinger Bands® width narrows, it indicates reduced variability and increased potential for data changes, awaiting release. Once volatility resumes, a dramatic shift can occur. This technical insight provides a solid foundation for the Long Strangle Strategy, aligning the timing of options with the potential for amplified price movement in Natural Gas. Contract Specifications for Natural Gas Futures To effectively plan and manage risk in this trade, it’s crucial to understand the contract details and margin requirements for Natural Gas Futures (NG). o Standard Natural Gas Futures Contract (NG): Minimum Price Fluctuation: $0.001 per MMBtu or $10 per tick. o Micro Natural Gas Futures Contract (optional alternative for smaller exposure): Minimum Price Fluctuation: $0.001 per MMBtu or $1.00 per tick. Margin Requirements The current margin requirement for a single NG futures contract generally falls around $2,500 but may vary with market conditions. $250 per contract for Micro Natural Gas Futures. Trade Plan for the Long Strangle The Long Strangle strategy on Natural Gas involves buying both a put and a call option to capture significant price movements in either direction. Here’s how the trade is set up: o Expiration: February 25, 2025 o Strikes: Long 2.5 Put at 0.28 ($2,800) Long 2.7 Call at 0.29 ($2,900) o Cost Basis: The total premium paid for the strangle is 0.57 (0.28 + 0.29) = $5,700 per strangle position. Profit Potential Profits increase as Natural Gas moves sharply above the 2.7 call strike or below the 2.5 put strike, accounting for the 0.57 premium paid. With substantial price movement, gains on one option can offset the total premium and yield significant returns. Risk Maximum risk is confined to the total premium paid ($5,700), making this a capped-risk trade. Reward-to-Risk Analysis Reward potential is substantial to the upside and downside, limited only by the extent of the price move, while risk is capped at the initial premium cost. Risk Management and Trade Monitoring Effective risk management is key to successfully executing a Long Strangle strategy, particularly when anticipating heightened volatility in Natural Gas. Here are the critical aspects of managing this trade: Defined Risk with Prepaid Premiums: The maximum risk is predetermined and limited to the initial premium paid, which helps manage potential losses in volatile markets. Importance of Position Sizing: Sizing positions appropriately can help balance exposure across a portfolio and reduce excessive risk concentration in a single asset. Using Micro Natural Futures would help to reduce size and risk by a factor of 10 (from $5,700 down to $570 per strangle). Optional Stop-Loss: As the risk is confined to the premium, no stop-loss orders are required. Exit Strategies For a Long Strangle to yield substantial returns, timing the exit is crucial. Here are potential exit scenarios for this strategy: Profit-Taking Before Expiration: If Natural Gas experiences a significant price swing before the February expiration, consider taking profits which would further reduce the exposure to premium decay. Holding to Expiration: Alternatively, traders can hold both options to expiration if they anticipate further volatility or an extended price trend. Continuous Monitoring: The effectiveness of this strategy is closely tied to the persistence of volatility in Natural Gas.
