DAILY MARKET REPORT – 10/05/2023
A fairly sideways movement across the board in yesterdays session as we appear to have found a level of comfort for the time being.
Temperature forecasts for the weeks ahead together with relative strong flows of gas are encouraging and enables storage injection to maintain pace. Whilst not at the same rate as 2020, it is maintaining relative to 2019 which also saw a strong injection pace throughout the summer, which by the end of July both met the same level of storage.
Yesterday saw the TTF June contract settle at €35.95 (from €36.87) and the NBP June contract at 82.23p (from 83.35p).
Troll on unplanned outage this morning and we see a flow level at 292mcm from Norway (292). Russian nominations showing Velke Kapusany at 37.0mcm (29.1) and Sudzha at 40.4mcm (32.7). Nord Stream remains unavailable. Gas storage showing at 62.04% full as per AGSI+. LNG vessels due to arrive in UK next couple of weeks is 10.
