The global natural gas price index stood at 174.31 index points in September 2025. Natural gas prices decreased that month as cooling demand fell due to colder weather than expected. The global price index takes into account indices from Europe, Japan, and the United States – some of the largest natural gas trading markets. The U.S. is the leading natural gas exporter in the world. Means of trading natural gas Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most common form of trading natural gas. Although piped gas is often the preferred choice for transportation between neighboring producing and consuming countries, seaborne trade as LNG has grown in market volume. This is in part thanks to high consumption in pipeline-inaccessible areas such as Japan, Korea, and China, as well as the recent increase in LNG trade by European countries. Major natural gas price benchmarks The natural gas prices often used as global benchmarks are Europe’s Dutch TTF traded on the Intercontinental Exchange, Indonesian LNG in Japan, and the U.S. Henry Hub traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. 2022 was an especially volatile year for natural gas prices, as supply was severely constrained following sanctions on Russian imports. Other reasons for recent spikes in gas prices are related to issues at refineries, changes in demand, and problems along seaborne supply routes.

The global fuel energy price index stood at 157.89 index points in September 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures decreased that month due to a fall in natural gas prices. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Tariffs bring economic uncertainty With the global economy having adjusted to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, new uncertainty has emerged due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. If these tariffs are fully implemented, global trade could be significantly disrupted, mainly the bilateral trade between the world’s two largest economies. In 2025, import tariffs between China and the United States exceeded 130 percent on both sides, while their tariffs on imports from the rest of the world were around 10 percent. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imported goods reached a high of 134.7 percent in April of that year, while China imposed a 147.6 percent tariff on U.S. goods. Early estimates indicate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on the U.S. economy could amount to 0.4 percent of GDP, mainly driven by the reduced trade with Mexico, Canada and China.

Hong Kong had the highest prices for premium gasoline (95-RON) on August 4, 2025. That day, prices averaged 3.58 U.S. dollars per liter, which was notably more than in any other country. While oil-rich countries enjoy some of the lowest gasoline prices, drivers in big car markets such as Europe pay around two U.S. dollars per liter.

Global Fuel Prices Database provides monthly retail fuel prices of regular gasoline (research octane number, RON, below 95), premium gasoline (RON of 95 or above), diesel, kerosene, LPG for automobiles, bottled LPG, heating oil, and HFO for the period between December 2015 and April 2025. The database relies on publicly available information. For countries that regulate fuel prices, the author manually collected monthly price announcements from the websites or social media of petroleum agencies, ministry of finance, ministry of energy, and statistical offices. In some cases, the data were sourced from local news articles publishing the government’s press releases on price adjustments. For countries with deregulated prices that conduct regular fuel price surveys, the author manually collected the published monthly average prices for the country and if available for several major cities in the country.

The average for 2016 based on 165 countries was 0.98 dollars. The highest value was in Eritrea: 2 dollars and the lowest value was in Venezuela: 0 dollars. The indicator is available from 1991 to 2016. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In 2024, the global natural gas price index stood at 167.43 index points. This was down from a peak of 521.58 in 2022. Natural gas prices increased significantly in the latter half of 2021 and throughout much of 2022 owing to greater power demand combined with supply constraints. This trend was also reflected in the monthly natural gas price index.

About the ProjectKAPSARC is analyzing the shifting dynamics of the global gas markets. Global gas markets have turned upside down during the past five years: North America has emerged as a large potential future LNG exporter while gas demand growth has been slowing down as natural gas gets squeezed between coal and renewables. While the coming years will witness the fastest LNG export capacity expansion ever seen, many questions are raised on the next generation of LNG supply, the impact of low oil and gas prices on supply and demand patterns and how pricing and contractual structure may be affected by both the arrival of U.S. LNG on global gas markets and the desire of Asian buyers for cheaper gas.Key PointsIn the past year, global gas prices have dropped significantly, albeit at unequal paces depending on the region. All else being equal, economists would suggest that this should have generated a positive demand response. However, “all else” was not equal. Prices of other commodities also declined while economic growth forecasts were downgraded. Prices at benchmark points such as the U.K. National Balancing Point (NBP), U.S. Henry Hub (HH) and Japan/Korea Marker (JKM) slumped due to lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas (LNG) oversupply and unseasonal weather. Yet, the prices of natural gas in local currencies have increased in a number of developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, former Soviet Union (FSU) and Asia. North America experienced demand growth while gas in Europe and Asia faced rising competition from cheaper coal, renewables and, in some instances, nuclear. Gains to European demand were mostly weather related while increases in Africa and Latin America were not significant. For LNG, Europe became the market of last resort as Asian consumption declined. Moreover, an anticipated surge in LNG supply, brought on by several new projects, may lead to a confrontation with Russian or other pipeline gas suppliers to Europe. At the same time, Asian buyers are seeking concessions on pricing and flexibility in their long-term contracts. Looking ahead, natural gas has to prove itself a credible and affordable alternative to coal, notably in Asia, if the world is to reach its climate change targets. The future of the gas industry will also depend on oil prices, evolution of Chinese energy demand and impact of COP21 on national energy policies. Current low prices mean there is likely to be a pause in final investment decisions (FIDs) on LNG projects in the coming years.

Oil futures gas prices refer to the price of gasoline in the future, as determined by the futures market. Factors such as supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, macroeconomic trends, and market sentiment can cause significant fluctuations in oil futures gas prices.

Natural gas prices decreased across all major regions in 2024, as supply caught up to higher demand. In Japan, LNG sold for an average of **** nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units. Meanwhile, the United States, as the largest natural gas producer worldwide, has significantly lower prices for the fossil fuel. The U.S. has had lower natural gas prices than Europe for much of the past four decades. LNG on the rise LNG is expected to shape much of future natural gas trade. Although pipelines have been the preferred method of transportation for many decades, as Europe shifts away from Russia as its main gas supplier, LNG has become more in demand. The global LNG trade volume has already exceeded *** billion cubic meters per year, and is expected to continue growing. Countries in Asia have some of the highest landed prices for liquefied natural gas worldwide. Natural gas benchmarks Some of the most closely followed natural gas price benchmarks are the U.S. Henry Hub and the Dutch TTF. The former is an important indicator of the state of the natural gas industry in the U.S., while the latter reflects natural gas market developments in Europe and potential repercussions for consumers.
