European gas prices surpass 80 euros

Gas prices in the European market rose above 80 euros per megawatt/hour for the first time since early 2023, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East following attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The contract for the next month at the Dutch TTF hub increased by 3.34 euros to reach 79.28 euros. Additionally, UK contracts hit their highest level since December 2022. Brent crude oil prices rose above $100 per barrel for the first time since late July. Iran confirmed it attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz, following the United States’ sinking of five Iranian oil tankers, raising concerns about oil and gas supplies in the region. Meanwhile, Europe's gas storage facilities are currently 67.12% full, compared to 79.48% last year.
