8月23日上午，美国天然气期货价格短暂突破10美元/百万英热单位
最近几周，由于欧洲在全球寻找产能大国以外的天然气供应，美国天然气价格出现飙升
亨利中心天然气价格自6月底以来已上涨70%
据美国油价网8月23日报道，8月23日早间，美国天然气期货价格触及每百万英热单位10美元，这是自2008年以来首次突破这一阈值，欧洲能源危机加剧，欧盟天然气价格飙升至另一个纪录。
截至美国东部时间8月23日上午8点43分，亨利中心即月基准天然气价格上涨0.60%，至9.737美元/百万英热单位，当天早些时候曾触及10美元/百万英热单位。
由于欧洲在世界各地寻找非产能大国的天然气供应——主要是美国的液化天然气——以填补冬季供暖季节的天然气储备，美国天然气价格最近几周持续飙升。
由于自由港液化天然气出口终端不可抗力，美国基准天然气价格在6月初出现暴跌，但自6月底以来迄今已经上涨70%，上周达到2008年8月以来的最高水平，超过9.30美元/百万英热单位。
本周，美国天然气价格超过了10美元/百万英热单位，因为8月31日至9月2日期间，欧洲将再次面临停气。德国和其他欧盟国家担心，通过管道的天然气供应——目前仅占管道产能的20%——将被进一步削减或完全停止。
美国天然气价格正在上涨，但与欧洲天然气价格的飙升相比，这根本不值一提。欧洲天然气价格8月23日再次创下纪录，超过了8月22日的纪录高点。
荷兰TTF中心的欧洲基准天然气价格一夜之间又飙升13%，接近每兆瓦时297.55美元（300欧元），创历史新高。据路透社估计，仅一个月的时间，天然气价格就翻了一番，是过去10年平均价格的14倍。
欧洲天然气价格远高于美国基准天然气价格，约为美国基准天然气价格的10倍，这将推动更多的液化天然气从美国出口到欧洲，可能进一步推动美国天然气价格的上涨。此外，尽管自由港液化天然气供应中断，为国内消费提供了更多的天然气，但由于美国国内天然气产量保持持平，电力部门的天然气需求在热浪中强劲，天然气库存低于正常水平，美国国内市场为当地天然气价格提供了乐观的催化剂。

U.S. Natural Gas Jumps To $10 For The First Time Since 2008
· U.S. natural gas futures jumped briefly above $10 per MMBtu on Tuesday morning.
· U.S. natural gas prices have soared in recent weeks as Europe scours the world for non-Russian gas supply.
· Henry Hub gas prices have rallied by 70% since the end of June
U.S. natural gas futures hit $10 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) early on Tuesday, jumping briefly above that threshold for the first time since 2008 as the energy crisis in Europe is worsening, and EU gas prices surged to another record today.
As of 8:43 a.m. ET, the front-month U.S. benchmark natural gas price at Henry Hub was up by 0.60% at $9.737/MMBtu, having hit $10/MMBtu earlier in the day.
U.S. natural gas prices have soared in recent weeks as Europe scours the world for non-larger producer gas supply—mostly U.S. LNG—to fill gas storage sites in time for the winter heating season.
After a slump in early June due to the Freeport LNG force majeure, U.S. benchmark gas prices have rallied by 70% since the end of June, hitting last week their highest level since August 2008 at above $9.30/MMBtu.
This week, the prices exceeded $10/MMBtu as Europe braces for another halt of gas deliveries via the pipeline to Germany for three days between August 31 and September 2. Germany and other EU countries are concerned that supply via Nord Stream—now at just 20% of the pipeline capacity—would be further cut or completely halted.
U.S. gas prices are rallying, but it’s nothing compared to the surge in Europe’s gas prices, which set another record on Tuesday, beating Monday’s record-high price.
Europe’s benchmark gas prices at the Dutch TTF hub soared by another 13% overnight to close to $297.55 (300 euro) per megawatt-hour, a fresh record high. The price has now doubled in just one month and currently sits 14 times higher than the average for the last decade, according to Reuters estimates.
The much higher gas prices in Europe, at around ten times higher than the U.S. benchmark in MMBtu terms, are set to pull more LNG exports from the U.S. to Europe, potentially further stoking the rally in U.S. natural gas prices. In addition, the U.S. domestic market offers bullish catalysts for local gas prices as domestic production remains flattish, gas demand from the power sector is strong in heatwaves, and stocks in storage are lower than normal, despite the outage at Freeport LNG, which has made available more gas for domestic consumption.
