Natural Gas Market

The natural gas market involves the buying and selling of natural gas, a fossil fuel used for heating, electricity generation, and industrial processes. Prices are influenced by supply and demand, production levels, geopolitical factors, and weather conditions. Natural gas is extracted from underground deposits and transported via pipelines or liquefied for easier shipping. The market operates globally, with prices fluctuating based on availability and consumption patterns. It plays a key role in energy markets, providing a relatively cleaner energy source compared to coal and oil, while also impacting energy costs and environmental considerations.
