European gas prices hit record highs
European natural gas prices remain near their highest levels in several months due to elevated geopolitical risks, as maritime attacks in the Middle East escalate. Gas contracts are approaching €62 per megawatt-hour in European markets, despite storage levels being only 53% full and rising electricity demand during the heatwave. Tensions in the region, including attacks on ships and the threat of maritime threats, have led to higher insurance premiums and increased supply costs, putting pressure on the market and hindering efforts to secure energy supplies for the winter. The rising prices are impacting energy costs and making it more challenging for the European Central Bank to control inflation ahead of its upcoming meeting.
