# Why Natural Gas (NATGAS) rose 4.47% on November 12, 2026

Natural Gas (NATGAS) rose 4.47% on November 12, 2026 — Russian drone attack on Naftogaz gas sites lifts gas.

## What happened

Natural gas rose about 4.5% after Russia struck a Naftogaz gas facility in Ukraine with jet-powered drones overnight, according to the company.

## Why it moved

Damage to Ukrainian gas infrastructure raises regional supply risk, and that lifts European gas prices, which natural gas tracks.

## Why it matters

Within the Natural Gas Cycle theme, the rally has been stalling on a long-term Qatar supply deal and mild-winter forecasts. This attack is a geopolitical shock that briefly outweighs that bearish backdrop.

## What would break the thesis

If Ukraine says output is unaffected or repairs restore flows quickly, the premium should fade. A mild winter forecast or the Qatar supply deal would reassert the downward pressure.
