Russian natural gas transit via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, which crosses Poland, halted on Tuesday after almost stopping on Monday following the expiration of a gas transit deal earlier in the month, Interfax news agency reported citing German pipeline operator Gascade.

"The (UK) market was shut yesterday so people have come in this morning and are playing catch up," a gas trader said.

"After last week's sell off a rebound isn't a surprise," he said.

Following the expiration of the deal, capacity through the pipeline is being sold via auction, Poland's gas grid operator Gaz-System said.

Analysts said the flows would likely return when capacity is booked.
