 Don\u2019t let the recent meltdown in European natural gas prices fool you. The energy crunch of 2021 will last for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what futures traders are betting on, with spot prices dropping a lot more than forward contracts over the past week. The scale of the moves signal the flotilla of liquefied natural gas cargoes heading to Europe will only provide short-term relief, and prices will still be expensive all the way to March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe is facing an energy crisis, with Russia curbing supplies and nuclear outages in France straining power grids in the coldest months of the year. While more cargoes are landing in Europe for now, the fate of the market is still hanging on the approval of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which President Vladimir Putin says could help cool this year\u2019s 400% rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEurope\u2019s gas problem may not go away next year,\u201d Andrew Hill, head of European gas analysis at BloombergNEF, said in a report on Wednesday. \u201cGeopolitical issues and acrimony with Russia, particularly around the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, will increase the scope for Russia to limit flows to Europe in the first half of the year, and potentially much longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spot gas prices fell almost 40% over the past week, while losses for forward contracts were capped at about 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
