Fitch says North American oil hedging currently faces book losses, natural gas traders lock in prices for 2028
Fitch Ratings has published a related assessment showing that oil hedging operations in North America have currently resulted in paper losses, while natural gas producers are moving to lock in favorable prices for 2028. It is understood that hedging activities by energy companies are primarily intended to counter commodity price fluctuations and stabilize operating cash flows. The recent paper losses in oil hedging are directly linked to the volatility in international oil prices. Meanwhile, natural gas producers' decisions to secure advantageous prices years in advance reflect the industry’s clear expectations regarding future supply and demand dynamics and price trends for natural gas. This early positioning aims to safeguard future profit margins and mitigate the operational uncertainties that potential market price fluctuations may bring.

Both companies emphasize that external customer demand is still growing, but the decline in internal usage puts pressure on Anthropic. According to Anthropic's IPO prospectus, two major clients together contributed about 25% of its revenue.
