Description & usage
United States Natural Gas Fund is a commodity fund that aims to track natural gas price movements, typically via futures. Exposure is obtained through futures positions and contract rolls rather than physical storage of gas. It is used to express natural gas exposure through an exchange-traded product, often linked to U.S. trading benchmarks. Performance can be influenced not only by spot price changes but also by roll costs, curve shape and seasonal dynamics in gas markets.
