Natural Gas Spot Market

The natural gas spot market is where buyers and sellers trade natural gas for immediate delivery, with prices determined by current supply and demand conditions. It operates in real time, allowing companies like utilities and businesses to purchase gas as needed, rather than through long-term contracts. Prices can fluctuate daily based on factors such as weather, pipeline capacity, and storage levels. This market helps ensure that natural gas is efficiently allocated to meet immediate energy needs, providing flexibility and responsiveness in the energy supply chain.
