DAILY MARKET REPORT – 21/06/2023
Another bullish session mostly driven by technical levels being hit, although not helped by a lack of renewable generation meaning more gas for power requirement.
No real change in the outlook, which appears nervous in the short term especially with Norwegian field outages, but a bearish trend likely over the longer term.
Yesterday saw the TTF July contract settle at €38.71 (from €34.90) and the NBP July contract at 96.46p (from 86.14p).
