A combination of high storage levels and warm weather is causing natural gas prices to decline consistently in Europe since last summer, leading many to believe Europe’s energy crisis may not be as bad as most had feared. But, with the heating season yet to begin on much of the continent, the crisis is still far from over.

RANE Europe analyst Matteo Ilardo breaks down the good - and bad - situations.
