Natural Gas Futures FAQs
1. What are Natural Gas Futures?
Natural gas futures are exchange-listed contracts to trade the future price of natural gas delivered at the Henry Hub, a major US pipeline junction in Louisiana. The standard contract is NG, traded on NYMEX. It represents 10,000 million British thermal units (MMBtu) and is physically deliverable, settling against the Henry Hub price at expiry
2. What's the difference between NG and MNG Futures?
NG is the standard Henry Hub natural gas contract, sized at 10,000 MMBtu. MNG, the Micro contract, is one-tenth that size at 1,000 MMBtu. Both track the same Henry Hub price and settle the same way, with MNG giving the same market exposure per contract at a lower margin requirement
3. What moves Natural Gas Futures prices?
Natural gas futures are driven mainly by weather, since heating demand in winter and cooling demand in summer both consume gas for power generation. Weekly storage data from the EIA shows how supply is tracking against seasonal norms. Production levels and pipeline capacity also affect price, along with LNG export demand
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Natural Gas Futures?
Margin on NG and MNG is set by the exchange and varies with volatility, which tends to rise heading into winter and around weekly storage reports. Brokers can require additional margin above the exchange minimum. KGI Crusoe has no account minimum; capital required depends on the contract and quantity traded. Current figures are listed in the contract specifications
5. What are the risks of trading Natural Gas Futures?
Natural gas futures are leveraged, so a small price move can produce a large move against your margin, and losses can exceed the amount deposited. The market is known for sharp moves around weather forecasts and weekly storage data. NG is physically deliverable, so positions held into the delivery period carry delivery obligations most traders avoid by closing or rolling beforehand
