European gas prices breach €100/MWh on Middle East tensions and winter demand
Published 14 h ago4 sourcesEvidence: Unknown
European benchmark gas prices crossed €100/MWh for the first time since 2022, when Gazprom weaponized supply. Unlike that episode, Russian suppliers are not the primary beneficiaries, suggesting a different supply-demand driver—likely tighter LNG competition or storage concerns. The move signals renewed energy-cost pressure on European industry and inflation, with implications for policy response.

European natural gas prices have surged past €100/MWh, a level last observed in December 2022, driven by heightened Middle East tensions impacting LNG shipping and increasing winter demand. This breach signals renewed energy-cost pressures for Europe, with potential inflationary effects and implications for industrial competitiveness. Uncertainty remains regarding the duration of Middle East shipping disruptions and the severity of winter demand.
