Cheniere's Corpus Christi Plant Hits Record Feedgas Amidst 2% US Natgas Price Drop
LNG sits 28% above its 52-week low of $186.2 on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
US natural gas prices fell 2% today due to higher output and ample storage, despite a heat wave. This follows yesterday's 3% climb in futures. Crucially, Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi LNG plant achieved record feedgas, indicating strong operational performance. While falling natgas prices are generally negative for an exporter, the record feedgas suggests robust demand for Cheniere's product, partially offsetting the price pressure.
