What drives it
- QatarEnergy's force majeure runs to at least end-December, with exports near 2.7 million tons last month against close to 6.2 million in…
- Europe enters the heating season with the lowest gas storage in over a decade, leaving little buffer if demand surges.
- Weak wind and solar output pushed day-ahead power prices in France and Germany to their highest since 2022, lifting gas demand.
- TTF bounced from its one-month low near $91.30 as Iran peace optimism faded and tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continued.
What argues against it
- Qatari LNG loadings have risen to 13-15 shipments per 10-day period in November, though still roughly half of pre-war levels.
- Hopes of a faster diplomatic resolution to the conflict drove an energy correction that had TTF losing its 50-day average near €82/MWh.
- Prices remain well below the late-October four-year high above 101.82 euros, and a mild winter or returning renewables output would ease…
What would change the picture
- A confirmed de-escalation between the US and Iran, reversing the faded peace optimism, would weigh on the contract.
- Weather forecasts turning milder for Northwest Europe would cut heating demand and soften the tight-supply case.
- A sustained recovery of Qatari exports toward pre-war volumes would loosen the European supply picture.

Frequently asked questions about Dutch TTF Natural Gas
Why does Qatar's force majeure matter so much for European gas prices?
Qatari cargoes are a major LNG source for Europe. With deliveries under force majeure until at least end-December and October exports near 2.7 million tons versus close to 6.2 million in February, Europe must bid aggressively for US cargoes, which lifts TTF. Orlen cancelling a 1 million ton annual contract shows how scarce Qatari supply has become.
TTF fell sharply in November, so why is the outlook still bullish?
The dip reflected optimism about a diplomatic end to the conflict, and that pullback has already stalled. The contract rebounded 2.7% from its one-month low as attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continued and QatarEnergy extended force majeure. With storage at 72% full against the five-year average, the structural supply squeeze still argues for higher prices.
What could break the bullish case this winter?
Three things: a genuinely mild winter curbing heating demand, renewables output recovering so gas-fired plants run less, and Qatari loadings continuing to climb toward pre-war levels. Several reports also note that some cargoes still loaded at Ras Laffan despite the force majeure, so supply could recover faster than expected.
