NYSEAMERICAN:TELL extended its recent decline on Wednesday as the Liquefied Natural Gas company fell for the fourth straight session. Shares of TELL dropped by 1.37% and closed the trading day at $5.76. Tellurian remains trading at levels above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, as the LNG industry continues to make global headlines as more countries impose economic sanctions against Russia. The major indices diverged on Wednesday, mostly due to the utter collapse of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) following a disappointing earnings report. The Dow Jones posted a 249 basis point gain, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ posted losses of 0.06% and 1.22% respectively during the session.

The project is currently in Phase one and will see a second plant added to the property in Phase two. By the time the project is completed in 2026, it is anticipated that Tellurian will be able to export up to 11 million tonnes per annum. Tellurian is positioning itself to be a player in the LNG industry as the US becomes the top LNG exporter in the world.

The commodity, however, remains close to the weekly high, which it touched the previous day, as traders keenly await the release of the closely watched US monthly employment details. The popularly known US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report will provide more cues about the Fed's policy path amid receding bets of a September rate hike.
