Gas prices volatile despite a market in balance Every week, we inform you about the latest news on the energy markets 👉 Hereunder the summary of this April 11. Gas Prices are volatile despite a market in balance ✔ Prices proved volatile last week. The TTF CAL25 is currently trading at around EUR 32/MWh. ✔ Unscheduled work in Norway made prices rise, as did an increase in LNG imports by Asia.  ✔ We remain of the opinion that high stocks and weak demand do not justify an upward trend. Moreover, profit-takings could also cause a fall. Electricity Price rises limited by weak industrial demand and strong renewable production ✔ Spot prices are seeing a falling demand due to high temperatures and strong winds. Solar power production over the weekend pushed prices below zero. ✔ Long-term prices follow rising gas and CO2 emission prices. The expected colder temperatures for next week also play a role. ◾ Weak industrial demand and strong renewable production limit the upside potential. ✔ CO2 emission prices are back above EUR60/t. This rise could perhaps be explained by German industrial figures, among others, which stood out as positive. But it is still too early to see a real trend reversal as the overall industry is remains weak. ✔ The European Commission published its preliminary report on 2023 emissions. The year saw a significant decline of 15.5% compared to 2022, thanks to, among other things, rapid implementation of new renewable generation capacity, energy-saving measures and weak industrial demand.

Energy Market Update - When do we fix? An article we wrote for a large buying group. Thought it useful to share with Energy managers and Contract procurement decision makers.... “At the time of writing with winter and the heating season well underway, we are seeing good European Gas storage levels (85%+) and depending on the harshness of this winter Europe expects to be coming out the other side in spring somewhere between 42 and 55% full. (this plays a large part in price of electric). LNG deliveries into the UK are down significantly this year compared to 23-24 levels with many diverted to Asia and this has served as a price holder rather than allowing them to fall too much, even as we hit near full storage coming out of the summer. December is expected to see around 15 LNG deliveries into the UK which is good news and will keep storage levels up as the cold weather bites in the main drawdown season.   There are still many Geo-political issues at play, potential sanctions from the new Trump administration on specific oil producing nations such as Iran and conflict worldwide which are all serving as bullish factors in keeping prices propped up. There will no doubt be some form of retaliation from Russia in the next few months which could be sabotage on an interconnector or the likes, to hurt the UK/European energy industry which will spike prices. Sadly, there is very little evidence or data on the horizon that prices are going to fall from these levels. They hit the bottom for this period in Feb 2024 and have steadily climbed since.   When you should fix and for how long is a question we are asked daily….’Electric Prices are about the lowest they’ve been in nearly 5 years now (low to mid 20’s) and many people were scorched by having to fix electric contracts at 35-55p during the crisis. With the uncertainly and volatility surrounding all commodities and the fact there’s little evidence to suggest prices will fall further, many of our clients have already fixed any contracts due to begin in Q1 & Q2 of '25 simply for price security and guaranteed savings. In many cases you can lock out your new contract price up to 12 months ahead and this may prove to be a good move for many businesses’. https://lnkd.in/eJJqfBsC

Gas prices rise while market fundamentals remain healthy Every week, we inform you about the latest news on the energy markets 👉 Hereunder the summary of this March 21. Gas Upward momentum while market fundamentals remain healthy ✔ The rise in oil and coal prices underpin gas prices. ✔ But the upward momentum seems to be slowing down and market fundamentals remain comfortable. The TTF CAL25 is currently at around EUR 31/MWh. ✔ To keep in mind: Asian prices are going up and are now higher than European gas prices. There is thus a risk of LNG cargoes shifting from Europe to Asia. Electricity Prices are in line with the evolution of fuel prices ✔ European spot prices diverged on Tuesday: - They saw a rise by about EUR10/MWh in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands due to the ongoing lack of wind. - In contrast, they fell by almost EUR9/MWh in France, where very mild temperatures were able to offset weak production of renewables. ✔ Forward prices reflect the evolution of fuel and CO2 emission prices. The BE CAL25 is now at below EUR 80/MWh. ✔ Market participants cannot really explain the rise in the carbon price (59 EUR/t) and there is seemingly a consensus that a correction is imminent.

A slight downward movement appears to be under way, however... Every week, we inform you about the latest news on the energy markets 👉 Hereunder the summary of this November 28. Gas A slight downward movement is under way, however .... ✔️ The fundamentals are mixed: temperatures are expected to fall again across most of Europe at the end of the week and demand for electricity generation rose on Tuesday due to a drop in renewable production. ✔️ Prices are showing a slight downward trend (TTF CAL25 around EUR 45/MWh)driven by: - Speculators selling to take profits. - The expected increase in LNG cargoes in Europe (Asian buyers currently seem unwilling to bid higher). ✔️ However, it is still too early to say that the upward trend is over, given the various risk factors (weather, Russian gas supplies via Ukraine, etc.). Electricity Markets are also benefiting from current more favourable conditions ✔️ Forward prices have followed the downward movements seen on the gas and CO2 markets. The BE CAL25 is hovering around EUR 92/MWh.  ✔️ Spot prices are down overall, benefiting from milder weather and favourable forecasts for wind generation. They are however likely to be affected by the slightly below-normal temperatures forecast for the end of the week in the Benelux countries. ✔️ CO2 emission allowances fell back to €68.5/t, influenced by the trend seen on the gas markets.

Meanwhile, JKM(Japan-Korea) LNG month ahead futures held steady at $12.33/MMBTU, maintaining a premium over European markets. Notably, no LNG cargoes are scheduled for arrival in the UK, but, thanks to higher-than-average storage levels and strong flows from Norway, the UK may be well positioned to meet its requirements with no immediate LNG imports. 🔹 UK Natural Gas Storage: 48% 🔹 European Storage: Over 80% We anticipate the gas market will trade sideways in the short-term, with potential price spikes as markets remain vigilant for any significant developments. 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 Wind generation fell today to 0.5GW, driving day ahead electricity prices up 30% to £77.48/MWh. However, wind generation is expected to rebound overnight, peaking at 7.4GW by 14:00 tomorrow, potentially lowering day ahead prices for tomorrow. Month ahead (Aug 24) baseload electricity prices were up 2% to £64.75/MWh on Friday, recovering from an 8% drop over the past four days, while no price changes were observed in the winter months’ contracts. We anticipate baseload electricity prices to trade sideways, mirroring gas market trends, as gas has constituted over 21% of the UK power stack on average in the past 30 days.

Understanding such dynamics is crucial for maintaining a stable and efficient energy system. Smarta Energy #GasPrices #ElectricityDemand #EnergyStorage #RenewableGeneration

Natural gas remains a focal point for traders and investors, given its potential for sudden price swings driven by supply and demand dynamics. Looking towards 2025 and beyond, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts a steady decline in natural gas prices, projecting a price of $3.10 USD/MMBtu in 2025, trending slightly lower by 2030. This bearish outlook is fueled by increasing exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the U.S. and a simultaneous reduction in domestic consumption. Historical price trends reveal a defined support zone between $1.36 and $1.61 USD/MMBtu, with rare spikes above $9.98 USD/MMBtu, primarily caused by temporary supply disruptions or surges in demand. The analysis suggests that unless significant global events occur—such as extreme weather conditions or geopolitical tensions involving major producers—the market is likely to remain within predictable ranges. For traders, understanding these patterns and leveraging tools like technical analysis can provide a strategic edge. Are you prepared to navigate the shifts in the energy markets?
