European gas prices are surging due to fears of a global supply disruption. The energy market is experiencing soaring prices as concerns grow over the stability of the supply chain.
The threat of strikes at major gas facilities in Australia is causing concern in global gas markets, with traders worried about potential disruptions to supplies and the resulting impact on European gas prices. U.S. energy giant Chevron and unions representing workers at the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects are in talks to resolve a dispute over pay and job security. If a deal cannot be reached, strikes are scheduled to begin on Thursday. Analysts warn that the global natural gas market is already tight, and any disruption in Australian production could lead to higher European gas prices.
