Natural Gas Data Sparks Optimism For Chevron, BP, Shell And Natural Gas ETFs
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
Natural gas demand and prices are showing signs of recovery in 2024 after a period of turbulence due to geopolitical issues and a weak demand side. The EIA forecasts an increase in natural gas supply and demand, with exports driving demand growth. This rebound is positive for natural gas producers like Chevron Corp (CVX), BP PLC (BP), Shell PLC (SHEL), EQT Corp (EQT), and APA Corp (APA), as well as for natural gas ETFs such as the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (UNG) and the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (BOIL), which have seen significant declines over the past year.
