Bank of America Forecasts 30% Rise in European Gas Prices in Q4 2026
A Bank of America report forecasts European gas prices could rise about 30% above current market expectations in the fourth quarter of 2026 due to historically low storage levels entering winter. Prices are expected to average 250 pence per therm, marking a 60% increase from the previous quarter. Gas storage stood at 73% in early October, down from 83% last year. The report also projects Brent crude oil prices to average around USD 100 per barrel in Q4 2026, with a less bullish outlook compared to gas.
