Why Natural Gas Stocks Crashed This Week

Just when investors expected natural gas stocks to end 2021 on a strong note, the rally in most stocks was cut short this week as catalysts behind their recent run-up appeared to fade. Each of these stocks were up by double digits in just the three months through last Friday, popping alongside natural gas prices, with Comstock Resources gaining nearly 60% during the period. With low natural gas inventories triggering fears of a potential supply crunch, especially as we head into winter, when demand for gas is at its peak, natural gas prices were flying through the roof before the rally came to a grinding halt this week.
