European natural gas prices slumped after a report that Israel is willing to avoid striking oil and nuclear targets when it retaliates against Iran for a recent attack.

Benchmark futures tumbled as much as 4.2% on Tuesday, the most in almost a month. Brent crude oil — which some gas contracts are tied to — fell as much as 4.1% as concerns over potential supply disruptions eased.
