European gas hitting €100/MWh in December isn't a prediction—it's a requirement.
Goldman says this is the floor price needed to refill storage before winter actually bites. Translation: Europe's energy situation is still fragile as hell.
If prices don't spike to these levels, inventory won't rebuild fast enough. That means rationing risk, industrial shutdowns, and potential chaos when temps drop.
This isn't just macro noise—energy costs ripple through everything. Manufacturing, consumer spending, inflation data, ECB policy.
Watch how this plays into risk-on/risk-off sentiment. High energy = weaker EU economy = potential flight to USD/crypto as hedge.
Energy crisis 2.0 might be loading.
