| Abstract: | This paper forecasts day-ahead prices of Title Transfer Facility Gas Hub, Europe’s most liquid gas market, by employing a comprehensive list of autoregressive and regionalized fundamental variables. Using a dataset containing daily data for the period 2018-2019, we estimate two specifcations using Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm. We fnd that yearly differentials in flling rate of European underground gas storage to carry signifcant information gain. Our results also confrm short term inertia in the price. |
