Following this positive data, futures ended the week 6% higher.However, natural gas is expected to remain volatile, depending on the weather outlook, supply/demand balance etc. In such a situation, investors should focus on resilient stocks like Cheniere Energy LNG, Range Resources RRC and Shell plc SHEL.\nNatural Gas Build Smaller Than Market Expectations\nStockpiles held in underground storage in the lower 48 states rose 42 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ended Nov. 8, below analysts’ guidance of a 44 Bcf addition. The increase compared with the five-year (2019-2023) average net injection of 29 Bcf and last year’s growth of 41 Bcf for the reported week.The weekly build put total natural gas stocks at 3,974 Bcf, 158 Bcf (4.1%) above the 2023 level and 228 Bcf (6.1%) higher than the five-year average.The total supply of natural gas averaged 107.5 Bcf per day, down 0.3 Bcf per day on a weekly basis, due to lower dry production partly offset by higher shipments from Canada.Meanwhile, daily consumption rose to 106.9 Bcf from 101.4 Bcf in the previous week, mainly reflecting higher residential/commercial usage and an increase in deliveries to U.S. LNG export facilities.\nNatural Gas Prices Finish Higher\nNatural gas prices rose last week following a smaller-than-expected inventory build. December futures closed at $2.823 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, marking a 5.8% increase. However, even with this gain, one has to consider the current natural gas supply surplus and the lingering uncertainty associated with it. With current inventories remaining above both last year’s levels and the five-year average, the rally can be short-lived. The relatively mild weather and demand for light heating are other factors to contend with.  Investors must remember that natural gas prices dipped to a four-month low of $1.88 in late August, underscoring the market's ongoing volatility.\nHow Should Investors Play Natural Gas Stocks?\nThe natural gas market continues to struggle with oversupply, along with shifts in weather and production dynamics. As such, investors should remain cautious. Focusing on fundamentally strong stocks like Cheniere Energy, Range Resources and Shell plc —each carrying a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) — may offer more stability amid the uncertainty.You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.Cheniere Energy: Being the first company to receive regulatory approval to export LNG from its 2.6 billion cubic feet per day Sabine Pass terminal, Cheniere Energy enjoys a distinct competitive advantage.Cheniere Energy beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the last four quarters and missed in the other.
