Goldman Sachs expects European LNG prices to average €70/MWh in Q4 2026, well above pre-summer levels, because Persian Gulf LNG exports remain at only 15%-25% of prewar levels. Prices could fall to about €50/MWh if flows recover faster.
Low storage in Northwest Europe is also cited as a support.
The forecast implies sustained high European gas prices through winter, which raises energy and fertilizer costs for feed producers. A faster Hormuz recovery would be the main bearish risk.
