$4.29 for natural gas? That's looking wildly overpriced when you stack it against current inventory levels.
Here's the math: spot price is running $1.24 above the $3.05 marginal cost shown on the yield curve from late November data. Inventory's sitting comfortable, yet the premium persists. Either someone's betting on a freeze nobody sees coming, or the market's pricing in phantom demand.
Worth watching how long this disconnect holds before reality catches up.

Natural gas at 4.29? With such abundant inventory, it's still trading at a premium—this is pure price gouging.

The price of natural gas is outrageous. With ample inventory, how can they still dare to charge such a high premium?

The natural gas price is way out of line; inventories are clearly sufficient, yet they're still holding on... To put it plainly, someone is betting on an unseen freeze disaster.
