ABN AMRO Group Economics Notes Europe's Reliance on LNG Boosts Exposure to Global Disruptions

Europe's reliance on liquefied natural gas has increased since 2022, raising its exposure to global LNG disruptions, ABN AMRO Group Economics said in a Wednesday note.European gas prices initially surged on the Iran conflict but later eased as Asian demand weakened and U.S. LNG inflows rose, ABN AMRO said.The recent preliminary agreement between the U.S. and Iran provided relief, pushing Title Transfer Facility prices down by about 15%, although short-term prices remain higher than long-term ones, the bank said.High injection season prices have discouraged storage filling, leaving EU storage at a seasonal low of 44.7%. Stable flows from Norway and the U.S., returning supply from Qatar and weaker competition from Asia is expected to allow Europe to hit 75% storage by October, ABN AMRO said.The bank expects gas prices to remain above seasonal averages at 46 euros per megawatt-hour in the second quarter, 43 euros/MWh in the third quarter, and 48 euros/MWh during the heating season.

Natural Gas Falls on Mild Long-Term Forecasts

Natural gas prices fell for a second session early Monday as long-term forecasts expect cooler than seasonal weather is on the way for big eastern markets.Gas for July delivery was last seen down $0.05 to US$3.07 per million British thermal units.The drop comes as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect most states east of the Rocky Mountains to see cooler than seasonal temperatures over its six to 10 day forecasts, cutting into cooling demand."Bearish weather for the next two weeks have trimmed back power sector demand projections from where they were last week. Some models are showing daily power demands for gas falling by nearly 20% compared to Friday," Gary Cunningham, Director of Market Research at Tradition Energy wrote.Supply remains robust. In its weekly survey, the Energy Information Administration last week reported stocks of fuel rose by 108-billion cubic feet, leaving inventories at 2.69-trillion cubic feet, 6% above the five-year average.
