Following this encouraging data, futures ended the week nearly 7% higher.However, natural gas is expected to remain volatile, depending on the temperature outlook, supply/demand balance etc. In such a situation, investors should focus on resilient stocks like Cheniere Energy LNG, Coterra Energy CTRA and EQT Corporation EQT.\nNatural Gas Draws Larger Than Market Expectations\nStockpiles held in underground storage in the lower 48 states fell by a record 190 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ended Dec. 6, above analysts’ guidance of a 165 Bcf depletion. The decrease, fourth in succession, compared with the five-year (2019-2023) average net decline of 71 Bcf and last year’s decline of 72 Bcf for the reported week.The weekly withdrawal put total natural gas stocks at 3,747 Bcf, 67 Bcf (1.8%) above the 2023 level and 165 Bcf (4.6%) higher than the five-year average.The total supply of natural gas averaged 110.5 Bcf per day, up 0.6 Bcf per day on a weekly basis, due to higher dry production.Meanwhile, daily consumption fell to 128.6 Bcf from 136.1 Bcf in the previous week, mainly reflecting lower residential/commercial usage due to higher-than-normal average temperatures.\nNatural Gas Prices Finish Higher\nNatural gas prices rose last week following a larger-than-expected inventory draw. Prices were also buoyed by higher fuel consumption for power generation and elevated LNG exports. January futures closed at $3.28 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, marking a 6.6% 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. 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.\nNatural Gas Future Looks Tricky\nDespite some positivity, the natural gas market continues to struggle with oversupply, along with unpredictable shifts in weather and production dynamics. As such, investors should remain cautious. Focusing on fundamentally strong stocks like Cheniere Energy, Coterra Energy and EQT Corporation — 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.
