据道琼斯9月1日消息，周三美国天然气价格再次飙升，收盘上涨5.4%，报4.615美元/百万英热单位，创下2018年11月29日以来的最高收盘价。今年以来，美国天然气价格已经上涨了75%以上，主要是由于夏末热浪席卷美国中部地区，以及飓风艾达造成的离岸天然气产量下降。更重要的是，路易斯安那州的液化天然气出口设施似乎经受住了这场风暴。与此同时，投资者对新奥尔良及周边地区持续发生的与风暴有关的停电事件不以为然，他们押注这不会对全国发电厂的天然气需求产生巨大影响。

Natural Gas Ends at Highest Since 2018
Natural gas prices roar again, closing the session up 5.4% at $4.615/mmBtu, the highest closing price since Nov. 29, 2018. The run-up in prices, which are now more than 75% higher year-to-date, is being driven by a late-summer heatwave sweeping through the middle part of the country, combined with weaker offshore gas production due to Hurricane Ida. What's more, LNG export facilities in Louisiana seem to have weathered the storm. Meanwhile, investors are shrugging off continued, storm-related power outages in and around New Orleans on the bet that they won't have a huge impact on nationwide gas demand from electricity plants.
