In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
US natural gas futures surged to a nearly three-year high on November 28 on the back of colder weather forecasts and the increased demand for heating. Moreover, the record increase in American LNG exports is also adding significantly to the demand, with average gas flows to the country’s eight big LNG export plants rising to 18.1 bcfd by November 27, up from a record 16.6 bcfd in October.
The global crude oil prices have also seen an uptick over the last week after OPEC+ reaffirmed its decision to suspend production hikes during the first quarter of 2026. However, these gains are limited due to the progress being made toward a potential peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. If a deal to end the 3-year-long war is concluded, it could pave the way for the Western sanctions on Russian oil to be lifted, opening the door for Moscow to supply its barrels to an international market that is already facing a significant surplus next year.
