DAILY MARKET REPORT – 24/02/2023
A balanced session overall yesterday with little movement in either direction.
Flows, temperatures and overall general outlook remain largely unchanged which provided for a lack of direction and keeps the market in its ‘holding pattern’ for now.
Today of course marks the one-year anniversary of the conflict in Ukraine, and our thoughts continue to go out to all those affected and hope that this comes to an end soon.
