Norway's gas exports to Europe fell sharply on June 3 after a shutdown of the Sleipner hub halted operations at the Nyhamna processing plant, caused by a pipe crack. The Dutch front-month contract rose 7.2% to 37.08 euros/MWh, its highest level of the year.
A supply loss from Norway tightens European gas supply and raises gas-fired power and fertilizer costs, supporting European gas prices and increasing demand for US LNG.
