Quick answer: As LNG links regional markets, global supply chains — shipping, liquefaction and regasification infrastructure, and international demand — increasingly influence domestic natural gas prices. This connection adds new drivers and volatility that hedging strategies must recognize and manage.

How do global supply chains affect gas prices?

Gas that can be liquefied and shipped competes internationally, so global demand and logistics affect domestic prices. This links the market underlying natural gas hedging to worldwide conditions.

What drives the linkage?

The growth of LNG exports, shipping capacity, and overseas demand ties prices together, while infrastructure constraints can create bottlenecks.

How does hedging respond?

Firms account for global demand signals and shipping dynamics in their exposure view and hedge consistently against the resulting volatility. Mobius Risk Group's hedge strategy solutions help firms manage globally linked exposure.
