European Gas Prices Rise Amid Qatar LNG Disruptions and Strait of Hormuz Uncertainty
European natural gas prices rose amid ongoing disruptions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies caused by Qatar's extended force majeure and uncertainty over reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran maintains firm conditions for reopening the waterway, which the US has rejected, though negotiations may resume soon. Europe faces pressure to rebuild low gas inventories before winter, with the EU urging member states to reduce demand and increase storage. Market volatility continues as global LNG competition intensifies due to supply constraints.
