Europe: European natural gas markets saw a notable decline in prices toward the end of December 2025, with futures for natural gas dropping to around 50 Euro/MWh after the highs of late 2024, indicating easing cost trends on the continent. Despite this downward movement, demand pressures linked to colder weather forecasts kept market attention high, as climatic conditions remain a key factor influencing consumption and stock levels across Europe.
In Italy, the situation on household bills remains tense as regulated components such as transport, distribution and retail continue to make up a significant portion of final costs, despite lower wholesale gas prices. Price benchmarks like the Title Transfer Facility in the Netherlands and the Italian PSV continue to shape contract negotiations and consumer cost dynamics, with climatic volatility and global market trends set to influence future bills.
