Supply disruptions in the Middle East, specifically the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz preventing Qatar from exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), have caused gas prices to rise sharply. [^4]

The price of gas futures on the TTF market in the Netherlands, the EU's benchmark price, has risen to approximately 73 euros per megawatt-hour, the highest level in three and a half years. [^5]
