European natural gas markets reached their highest levels since 2023 on September 9, 2026, as escalating conflict between U.S. forces and Iran threatened to disrupt liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply routes through the Strait of Hormuz. The Dutch TTF front-month contract surged to 79 euros per megawatt-hour, while Great Britain’s NBP wholesale gas contract climbed to 196 pence per therm, nearing the 200p threshold last seen in late 2022. Brent crude oil prices hovered near $99.50 a barrel, reflecting broader regional volatility.
