Natural gas bounced from a low of 1.95/MMBTU, where almost all producers lose money.
Since natural gas and crude oil are near or below breakeven levels, producers are reducing their drilling rate - likely lowering production levels given the lack of capacity.
The negative shift in weather, falling rig count, and potential export boost from Freeport may push natural gas back into a shortage over the coming months.
While natural gas spot prices appear likely bottoming, UNG's immense "contango" pressure remains a key investment rig factor.
