Quick Take

"Natural gas and oil shale production has peaked while demand surges from LNG exports and AI data centers, creating the most asymmetric opportunity in decades. Uranium supply disappoints as reactor demand grows."

Executive Summary

Goehring & Rozencwajg argues that North American natural gas markets have reached a critical turning point, with shale production likely peaking in December 2023 just as demand is set to surge from new LNG export capacity and AI-driven data center proliferation. The firm draws parallels to historical oil market inflection points in 1970 and 2003, when major non-OPEC supply sources rolled over and ceded pricing power to OPEC. They expect natural gas to converge with global prices around $10 per mcf from current levels near $1.50. The uranium bull market continues despite recent appreciation, with supply disappointments from major producers while reactor demand grows sharply. Gold remains in a pitched battle between Western selling and Central Bank accumulation, with the firm expecting a monetary regime change. Copper markets have shifted into structural deficit, while agriculture faces heightened weather risks despite extreme speculative bearishness. The firm maintains bullish positioning across natural resources, viewing current valuations as exceptional value ahead of what they believe will be significant price appreciation driven by fundamental supply-demand imbalances.
