Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium. It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure supplied by existing under the surface of the Earth over millions of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in the gas.

<li>Winter demand and Europe’s shift from Russian gas have pushed U.S. LNG exports to record highs, tightening domestic balances and reshaping global pricing dynamics.</li>
<li>Upstream natural gas producers gain little from export strength because long-term contracts, hedging practices, and heavy reinvestment cycles limit their exposure to rising spot prices and short-term market volatility.</li>
<li>Midstream companies benefit most as fee-based pipeline revenues scale with higher LNG feed-gas flows. </li>

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe2O3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH).n(H2O)) or siderite (FeCO3, 48.2% Fe).

<li>The DCE-SGX spread’s position below key MAs and repeated lower Bollinger band tests signal weak momentum, leaving upside uncertain and the near-term bias tilted bearish.</li>

Iron ore’s rally appeared sentiment driven, as narrowing mill margins and easing blast furnace activity highlight softening fundamentals and fading demand support.
Broader technical momentum is weakening as MACD turns bearish and prices retreat from Bollinger resistance, flagging rising downside risks ahead.
The DCE-SGX spread’s position below key MAs and repeated lower Bollinger band tests signal weak momentum, leaving upside uncertain and the near-term bias tilted bearish.
