Slowing Job Market Threatens Natural Gas Demand Surge

Natural gas demand has been strong throughout most of this decade, but recent economic trends may impact its growth. Weather extremes, economic expansion, and the Gulf Coast export expansion have all contributed to the increase in natural gas demand.

The energy needs for artificial intelligence (AI) have recently become a significant contributor to natural gas demand. However, employment growth has been anemic, with some experts warning that this trend may continue.

The US economy is vulnerable due to slowing job market and high inflation, which could expose the demand for energy.
