European natural gas prices rose on the prospect of a late-winter cold snap, after falling last week to the lowest level in almost 18 months.

Benchmark futures advanced as much as 5.4% after dropping below €50 on Friday. Temperatures in cities including London and Madrid could fall from unseasonably high levels by the end of the week, with colder weather potentially persisting into early March.
