Natural Gas: Volatile winter as Persian Gulf LNG stays scarce – ING

ING’s Warren Patterson highlights that European natural gas (TTF) prices have reached their highest level since December 2022 as Persian Gulf LNG flows remain down about 80% year-on-year. He expects Asia and Europe to keep competing for spot cargoes, with low European storage and forced German buying supporting prices. ING now forecasts TTF to average EUR73/MWh over the 26/27 winter before an aggressive sell-off from 2Q27.
