At the same time, natural gas inventories were only 69%, well below the five-year average, and the replenishment window was on the verge of closing. Wmax deeply dissects the three-chain resonance of crude oil logistics, natural gas inventories, and power supply structure: German power futures rose by more than 60% year-on-year, and low-cost power sources were under pressure at many points; the natural gas shock penetrated deeper into Europe's core inflation, and the European Central Bank still faces the dilemma of energy and growth after raising interest rates.
