# Natural gas Europe faces winter supply risks while US traders bet on lower prices

> European gas prices have fallen about 17% from last week's peak as hopes for a Middle East peace deal ease risk premiums. EU storage is 74.3% full against a five-year average near 90%, and LNG supply from the Gulf remains constrained. US Henry Hub futures trade below $3/MMBtu as speculative shorts reach their highest since 2020.

## Why it matters

Low European storage and constrained LNG leave the region exposed to a cold winter, which supports European gas prices. US prices are weighed down by a mild-winter bet, with a short-squeeze risk if heating demand surprises.
