About Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price
What it measures
The Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price (FRED series MHHNGSP) measures the monthly average spot price of natural gas in dollars per million BTU at Henry Hub in Erath, Louisiana, the delivery point for NYMEX natural gas futures and the benchmark for North American gas pricing. The data originate with the Energy Information Administration, and the hub location at the junction of major pipelines makes it the reference price for the continent.
Why it matters
Natural gas fuels a large share of US electricity generation, heats roughly half of American homes, and is the key feedstock for fertilizer and many chemicals, so its price flows into utility bills, manufacturing costs, and food prices. Power producers, industrial firms, and LNG exporters hedge against this benchmark. The growth of US LNG exports has increasingly linked Henry Hub to global gas and European energy markets.
How to read it
Gas is among the most volatile major commodities because storage is limited and demand spikes with weather; cold snaps and heat waves drive sharp seasonal moves. Watch weekly storage inventories relative to five-year norms as the key supply context. Henry Hub trades far below European and Asian benchmarks due to abundant domestic shale supply, and regional US prices can detach from it when pipelines are constrained.
