What is TTF Natural Gas Front-Month Price (TTF_GAS)?

TTF Natural Gas Front-Month Price is a natural gas benchmark price — the market price for natural gas delivered at a specific hub or traded on a regulated exchange. Gas prices reflect the balance between supply (production, LNG imports, storage) and demand (heating, power generation, industrial use).

Natural gas prices are critical inputs for power generators, industrial consumers, utilities, and energy traders. They directly impact electricity spot prices, petrochemical margins, and LNG export valuations. Gas prices are highly seasonal and can spike dramatically during cold snaps or supply disruptions.

  • Published daily by exchanges (EEX) or government agencies (EIA)
  • TTF is the European gas benchmark (€/MWh)
  • Henry Hub is the North American gas benchmark (USD/MMBtu)
  • Closely correlated with electricity and LNG prices
