So here is some pain for you , LOL
Firstly , the price of nat gas under the February contract has absolutely nothing to do with the purported political success of Donald Trump in a Republican primary race.
Second , Nat gas inventories are well on their way to equaling the 5 year average.With enduring low temperatures and accumulated production losses due to freeze -offs , that event could arrive as early as January 21.
The price of the February contract is set by both speculative and physical market interests . Usually as a near term Contract rolls up then , just before expiry , physical play will predominate since remaining open contracts wii be served notices to either take or make delivery.
Here are the predictions for a 100 BCF surplus by Jan 21

Note the Celsiusenergy projections have not been adjusted for freeze-offs, which have been calculated as running at 14.9 BCF per day for at least a week now
