The theme holds that US gas storage and deliverability have not kept pace with demand growth and LNG exports, making winter price spikes at Henry Hub more frequent. Three of the five houses tracking it support this view, with researchers pointing to LNG facilities absorbing Gulf storage and growing power-generation demand. The main counterargument, raised by two houses, is that mild winter forecasts, storage running above the five-year average and strong domestic production leave no clear supply-side catalyst for a rally.
