European Gas Prices Rise to Three-Year High Amid Low Winter Storage and Regional Uncertainties
European natural gas prices reached a three-year high as traders rush to fill storage ahead of winter, with inventories at 67% of seasonal norms. Uncertainty persists due to an imminent Iran-Oman shipping deal and recent US strikes on Iranian tankers, raising risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices also rose following attacks on Saudi energy sites. Germany's storage is about half full, with concerns that extreme cold could strain supplies despite efforts to meet targets by November.
