European benchmark natural gas prices fell to their lowest level of 2025 on Monday, extending a weeks-long retreat driven by ample storage and muted summer demand. Traders said the decline was amplified by expectations that political developments could ease risks to future supply disruptions. The latest slide came ahead of a scheduled meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelenskiy faces mounting pressure to reach a peace agreement with Russia that could involve ceding occupied territory, according to people familiar with the talks. Market participants are watching the discussions for signals on the duration and intensity of the conflict, which has been a key driver of European energy prices since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
