Rationale

Natural Gas prices experienced a significant decline of 15.21% over the past month, falling from levels above $3.00 at the start of the quarter. U.S. Natural Gas futures experienced heavy selloffs in July 2026, sinking due to record high output of 112.3 bcf/day (+1.9% y/y), forecasts calling for normal to below-normal temperatures across the central and eastern US through August 5, and lower LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) export flows. Front-month futures consistently traded well below $2.80 toward the end of July, dipping as low as $2.653 on July 28 and July 29. Therefore, the active month certainly achieved a low price below $2.80. Disclaimer: This forecast is for informational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.

Rationale

Natural gas futures settled near $2.73-$2.74/MMBtu as of late July 2026 with recent trading sessions showing prices below $2.70. The active month contract has recorded multiple 1-minute candle lows clearly below the $2.80 threshold during July trading sessions (per Pyth/CME data). Only a complete absence of trading or an immediate sharp reversal above $2.80 for the remainder of the month could lead to No, which is highly improbable given current levels and volatility. Strongest evidence is current futures pricing and historical July session data showing sustained trading below the level. Main uncertainty is any extraordinary volatility in final days, but already achieved lows make YES the clear outcome. A major supply shock could theoretically alter path but not reverse past prices.

Rationale

Natural gas already traded well below $2.80 in late July. The front-month August 2026 NYMEX contract (NGQ26) showed a last price of $2.725 with a July 29 day range of $2.620-$2.771 (Farmbucks/DTN data), and Yahoo's Henry Hub quote showed a July 29 day range of $2.665-$2.736 with settlement data around $2.66-2.87; the 30-day low is $2.62. Any active-month 1-minute candle low at or below $2.80 has therefore already occurred many times during July sessions (and likely again before month-end). The only residual risk is a resolution-source quirk in Pyth's active-month feed, which is negligible.

Rationale

The condition has effectively already been met: the active September natural-gas contract recorded lows of $2.635 on July 28 and $2.620 on July 29, both below $2.80. Only an unlikely discrepancy in Pyth's one-minute active-month feed would prevent YES.

Rationale

The futures contract NG=F (Henry Hub natural gas) trades near $2.84 with a recent intraday low around $2.81, indicating that price is already close to the $2.80 level. The current equilibrium and recent range suggest that breaching $2.80 as a low is possible but not the base case, as nearby prices are consolidating just above it and the energy‑sector ETF XLE is modestly higher, implying no extreme demand‑collapse signal. Upstream gas‑exposed majors (XOM, CVX, COP, SLB, HAL) are holding stable earnings and capex, which is more consistent with a floor near current levels than a deep move below $2.80. However, given the thin band between the latest low and the target, the probability of hitting or breaking $2.80 as a low in July is substantial but slightly below 50%.

Rationale

This asks whether Natural Gas (NG) Active Month futures hit a 1-minute candle Low at or below $2.80 during July 2026 trading sessions on Pyth. NG prices in mid-2026 are influenced by summer cooling demand, storage reports, and LNG export levels. A drop to $2.80 would require a meaningful bearish move from typical summer trading ranges. Given moderate probability of such a decline within the remaining July sessions, YES is assigned 0.35. Main uncertainty: heat waves could spike prices higher, while oversupply or weak demand could push prices toward $2.80.

METHODOLOGY

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during a trading session of July 2026, any 1-minute candle for the Active Month of Natural Gas futures has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding. If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No". Only prices achieved during an applicable trading session of the specified timeframe's business days will be considered. The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours. The active month changes at the start of the second trading session prior to that contract's last trading session, at which point the next listed contract becomes the active month (i.e., for the final three trading sessions of the nearest listed contract, the contract for the next month is the active month). Per CME contract specifications for Natural Gas (NG) futures, the last trading day is defined as the third last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month. For example, if the last business day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month is a Thursday, the last trading session is the session for the prior Tuesday, and the next listed contract becomes the active month at the start of the trading session for the Friday of the previous week (6:00 PM ET on Thursday), assuming a standard trading calendar. If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published for the Active Month Natural Gas (NG) futures contract by CME Group may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session. In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Active Month Natural Gas futures "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore?search=NGD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles. Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
