TTF Prices Fall Further to 18-Month Low

2025-11-25 16:40 By Agna Gabriel 1 min. read

European natural gas futures extended losses to below €29.5/MWh, the lowest since May 2024, as reports suggested Ukraine had agreed to terms of a revised peace plan aimed at ending the war with Russia, though details are still being finalized.

President Zelenskiy said talks with the US are ongoing, while Russia’s stance remains uncertain amid intense diplomatic activity in Geneva and Abu Dhabi.

A potential resolution could affect global energy flows just before new LNG capacity comes online next year.

Europe continues competing for gas as it phases out Russian supply, which now accounts for only about 10% of its imports.

Also, recent inflows of LNG and Norwegian pipeline gas, along with milder temperatures expected in early December, eased concerns about low inventories and strengthened Europe’s position for winter.

European Gas Holds at Multi-Year Highs
European natural gas prices held above €65 per MWh on Friday, the highest level since January 2023, as the stalemate in the US-Iran conflict muddied the outlook for Gulf LNG supplies. The two sides continued to clash over the Strait of Hormuz, with the conflict entering a new phase of economic pressure. Traders are concerned about Europe’s readiness for the upcoming winter as the maritime blockade has stranded Qatari LNG cargoes, forcing European utilities into more intense and costly competition with Asian buyers for available cargoes. Heatwave-driven demand for cooling is also limiting gas injections into storage. Europe's storage levels are at just 62%, the lowest seasonal level in records dating back to 2009, leaving the region with limited time to replenish inventories before the heating season begins. Despite this, the European Commission said that gas supplies in the bloc are not immediately at risk. Prices are up more than 6% this week.

European Gas Advances as Hormuz Remains Shut
European natural gas prices rose above €65 per MWh on Thursday, the highest since January 2023, as restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continued to raise concerns over global LNG supplies. President Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday to impose “tremendous punishment” on countries that help or do business with Iran, ramping up economic pressure on Tehran to reopen the critical waterway. His threats came after he said there were no ongoing talks and that the naval blockade of Iran remained in force, while Tehran maintained that the waterway remained closed. The blockade has halted Qatari LNG deliveries, forcing European utilities to compete aggressively for available cargoes. Reduced LNG inflows, combined with heatwave-driven cooling demand, have slowed Europe’s seasonal gas storage injections. This has amplified concerns that Europe could enter the winter heating season with insufficient reserves, keeping upward pressure on gas prices.
