The theme holds that low European gas storage and supply stress heading into winter will push gas prices higher as the heating season begins. The main argument is that storage sits well below normal levels, with Northwest European stocks around 69-70% against a five-year average near 90%, while Qatari LNG flows remain sharply reduced. One house argues the opposite case, noting that weak structural gas demand in Europe and Asia could limit price gains.
