TREE NEWS reports: European benchmark natural gas futures fell as much as 3.7% on Wednesday, hovering near a three-week low, as signals of progress in US-Iran diplomatic talks raised expectations that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could resume and add to global energy supply. Prices remain volatile, with Europe’s gas storage injection season nearing its end and inventory levels notably low.

The move shows how quickly geopolitical risk premia can unwind when a chokepoint looks less likely to stay disrupted, but the underlying supply picture hasn't changed. Low inventories as the injection season winds down leave the market with little buffer, so any diplomatic setback could reverse the decline just as fast. The question worth watching is whether storage gets rebuilt before demand season, not whether this particular headline holds.
