After which, an upward surge began that pushed prices above $7, and the February contracts settled at $6,265.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The rally extended to the March contracts, which were widely traded, with an increase of 9.5%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Though hedge funds have\u00a0been\u00a0net-long on\u00a0U.S. gas contracts, indicating they\u00a0expect prices to rise, money managers still held substantial\u00a0short positions,\u00a0according to data compiled by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Usually, traders who take wrong bets on lower prices are forced to close these positions by buying higher priced contracts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The big jump in natural gas prices comes in conjunction with the settlement of the February contract.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The most notable of which is the severe cold sweeping Europe and the United States and the geopolitical tensions in the European continent as a result of the current crisis between Russia and the West against the backdrop of Ukrainian crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Gas prices have witnessed fluctuations during the past few weeks, in conjunction with attempts by traders to test whether the current cold wave will lead to exhaustion of stocks of power plants and heating fuel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dealers said that the colder shift in weather forecasts, with the upcoming expiration of futures contracts, contributed to the sharp rise in prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;The way\u00a0the\u00a0price\u00a0whipsawed is a\u00a0sign\u00a0of a\u00a0very\u00a0classic\u00a0commodity short squeeze,\u201d\u00a0said Campbell Faulkner, the\u00a0chief data officer\u00a0at\u00a0OTC Global.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Frankly, there is no other good explanation. Even if we had a bomb cyclone going on, we wouldn&#8217;t see prices move this much,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Matt Rogers, president of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjZ3PnO0df1AhVlg_0HHejuB2oQFnoECA4QAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.commoditywx.com%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw0OCoRuk-HfyUdn2G0Z7KqF\">Commodity Weather Group<\/a>, forecasts indicate that cold weather conditions could continue in the eastern and central States until mid-February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington D.C., (Business News Report) &#8211;\u00a0US natural gas futures have hit an all-time high with a sudden jump.
