UK Natural Gas Holds Advance in General Energy News 14/05/2026 UK natural gas futures dropped to 114 pence per therm but still held most of its gains from the previous sessions, amid persistent uncertainty over how long supply disruptions in the Middle East would last. President Donald Trump’s dismissal of Iran’s response to a US-backed peace proposal has intensified concerns that the 10-week war could continue, further disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Optimism for a lasting ceasefire have also diminished. The strait remained largely closed, with the route currently facing restrictions from both sides, choking off around one-fifth of global LNG supply. While most gas from the Persian Gulf goes to Asia, the disruption has tightened global supply and increased competition, fueling concerns in Europe as the region needs to replenish inventories before next winter.
