0830 GMT - European energy stocks rise in opening trade as oil jumps and LNG soars. Brent crude rises 4.35% to $81.12 a barrel, while WTI is up 3.6% to $72.23 a barrel. The biggest jump was in European natural-gas prices, which rose more than 20% Tuesday after Qatar halted production at the world's largest liquefied-natural-gas export facility as the conflict in the Middle East spreads. In London, BP shares rise 0.8%. France's TotalEnergies and Spain's Repsol are both up around 1%. Portugal's Galp Energia rises 0.5%. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
