# European gas falls below 90 on Iran risk easing

> European natural gas prices fell below €90/MWh as traders priced in a lower risk of immediate escalation with Iran. The Dutch TTF front-month contract dropped 3.7% to €88.19/MWh, retreating from recent highs as investors weighed the possibility of diplomacy and recovering Qatari LNG exports.

## Why it matters

Reduced perceived risk to LNG flows through the Strait of Hormuz eases the geopolitical premium and is bearish for European gas prices. Renewed attacks could quickly reverse that move amid a fragile winter supply balance.
