Goldman Sachs raised its European TTF gas forecasts, lifting Q1 2027 to €74/MWh from €44 and the 2027 average to €51 from €32. The increase reflects a 45% probability of a low-supply winter for Middle East LNG and a small cold-weather risk.
Goldman's forecasts remain below current forwards.
A higher bank forecast signals expectations of tight Middle East LNG supply, supporting energy costs and fertiliser (nitrogen) production economics. Forecasts still sit below forwards, so market pricing already reflects much of this risk.
