European gas prices rise amid escalating Middle East tensions

European natural gas prices have surged as growing Middle East conflict raises concerns about potential energy supply disruptions, Bloomberg reports.

Prices increased 2.2% on Monday, following Friday's 4.8% jump, as markets react to potential risks to liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments through the critical Strait of Hormuz. These escalating tensions come during Europe's critical gas storage-building season, with any transport disruptions potentially straining supplies. Meanwhile, unseasonably warm weather across the continent is driving higher energy demand for air conditioning, further tightening the market.

Market participants are also monitoring potential supply constraints from Norway, where seasonal maintenance at key gas facilities could limit pipeline deliveries. The combination of these factors continues to fuel volatility in European energy markets.
