Overview
NATGASUSD represents the Contract for Difference (CFD) tracking the price of natural gas quoted against the U.S. dollar. This instrument allows traders to speculate on natural gas prices without owning the physical commodity or trading futures. It is particularly popular among retail traders for its accessibility, volatility, and correlation with broader energy markets.
Trading NATGASUSD provides an efficient way to capture opportunities driven by seasonal demand (especially during winter and summer), geopolitical developments, and U.S. inventory reports. As an energy-based CFD, it’s also commonly used to diversify portfolios beyond traditional asset classes like stocks or currencies.
