European natural gas prices could approach highs set in August after Russia said its key pipeline to Europe won’t resume flows as planned, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

The news will probably “reignite market uncertainty regarding the region’s ability to manage storage through winter” and is set to drive a “significant rally from Monday, potentially mimicking the August highs”, analysts, including Damien Courvalin, head of energy research, said in a report late Friday.
