European Gas: 2026E outlook

The European gas market crossed an important milestone in 2025, in our view, and has settled into a new equilibrium. The result of this, in our view, is that prices in 2026E will be lower than any year since 2020. Since 2022, LNG (and, in particular, LNG from the US) has become the marginal source of gas for the European market. This means that, for much of the time, US LNG has a major role in dictating the prices in the European markets.
