European gas storage is about 74% full, the lowest seasonal level since the 2022 energy crisis, while weather models indicate a possible early-December cold snap. The article says colder conditions could add about 1.1 billion cubic metres to regional gas demand and further reduce already-low inventories.
Low storage limits Europe’s buffer against a surge in heating demand, and withdrawal rates can weaken as inventories fall. That raises the risk of tighter winter supply and supports European gas prices.
After 221 past bullish weather events, Natural Gas moved a median +3.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -5.2% to +14.0%), and -0.3% over 20.
