NATGAS: Spot Gas Prices Rally Towards Parity With Oil

NATGAS

Spot gas prices in Europe and Asia have risen towards parity with oil due to the renewed European pipeline supply concerns and strong demand from buyers such as Egypt, according to ICIS.

  • The upside pressure from European supply risks has also tightened the Asia-Europe spread. US netbacks for October however still favours Asia at $11.33/mmbtu over Europe at $10.14/mmbtu, according to BNEF.
  • Delays to some new supply in the near term, for example the US Golden Pass project, are supporting forward prices into 2026, ICIS said.
  • The current forward curve shows a similar shape to three months ago although higher due to the short term risks. The curve still drops into 2026/2027 on expected new supply from the Americas and Qatar.
