Just caught that European gas futures absolutely went nuts last week - TTF hit 51.30 euros per MWh, up nearly 18% in a single session. The trigger? Trump's comments about potentially blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which obviously sent traders into panic mode about supply disruptions.

What's interesting is that most Middle Eastern gas usually flows to Asia, but if that shipping route actually gets disrupted, it could create serious competition for LNG globally. Europe's been stockpiling inventory ahead of winter, so any tightness in the gas futures market could really squeeze them. Since February's escalation between the US and Iran, these prices have climbed over 50% already.

The peace talk failures aren't helping either. If this keeps dragging on, we could see continued volatility in the gas futures space. Worth watching how this plays out over the next few weeks.
