# Global gas supplies could tighten in winter amid unprecedented Strait of Hormuz supply shock: IEA

> The IEA warned that restrictions on LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz could tighten global gas supplies during the 2026–27 winter. Qatar and UAE LNG loadings fell 60 bcm year on year from March to October, contributing to a 5% (20 bcm) decline in global LNG output.

Limited spare pipeline capacity and reduced Gulf LNG flows leave less supply available to meet winter demand, supporting natural-gas prices.
