CONTEXT
Henry Hub is the primary US natural gas benchmark, delivered at Erath, Louisiana.
US is now the world's largest LNG exporter — HH sets the floor for US LNG export economics.

Key levels:
2019 avg: ~$2.50/MMBtu (normal market)
2020 COVID low: $1.68/MMBtu
2022 Ukraine peak: $9.13/MMBtu (Aug 2022)
2024 low: $1.76/MMBtu (March 2024, warm winter + oversupply)
Current: rising on Hormuz LNG diversion

Qatar (world's #2 LNG exporter) ships through Hormuz — disruption redirects Asian buyers to US/Australian LNG.
Hormuz impact on HH: indirect but real. Asian LNG panic buying → US LNG exports surge → domestic HH rises.
US shale gas production (~105 Bcf/d) provides structural supply buffer absent in Europe/Asia.
