U.S. natural gas supply and demand will both rise to record highs in ​2026 and 2027, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in ‌its Short-Term Energy Outlook on Wednesday.

It's likely enough to keep oil in the high $70s to low $80s for the rest of the year – but there's very little room for error, according to experts.

Natural gas is mostly flat as weather forecasts indicate that demand will stay at high levels this week. Strong production and high storage levels continue to serve as negative catalysts for natural gas markets.

U.S. natural gas futures were holding on to the previous session's gains made on a hotter near-term weather outlook.

Looking beyond oil to a diversified mix of energy themes could offer more durable opportunities. Here are the ETFs to consider.
