DAILY MARKET REPORT – 13/07/2023
A very bearish session yesterday, particularly on the front month, as Shell confirmed the return of Nyhamna on 15th July.
The return from planned maintenance of Nyhamna was delayed last month due to ongoing issues and created short term panic in the market, with intraday spikes of 30%. The market has since returned to ‘pre panic’ levels and appears to want to drive lower still.
