European natural-gas prices climbed on Tuesday, driven by low storage levels despite a recent uptick in LNG deliveries from the Persian Gulf. The Dutch TTF benchmark jumped over 5% to €38.50 per MWh, reflecting ongoing market anxiety. Traders noted that while Qatari and Emirati shipments have improved, they are insufficient to replenish depleted inventories ahead of winter.
The situation underscores the region's continued reliance on flexible supply routes as demand remains elevated. Analysts warn that without significant additional inflows, price volatility is likely to persist through the colder months.
