Natural gas futures prices rose as much as 20 percent, their biggest daily rise since March amid signs of a shortage of liquefied natural gas supplies in markets as demand in Asia is likely to recover.

Europe is still trying to get out of a historic energy crisis magnified by Russia's supply cuts to Europe in response to Western sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.
