DAILY MARKET REPORT – 24/01/2024
A flat session yesterday, ending almost unchanged to where it started.
Whilst this may not seem exciting or interesting, it is a good sign. If we cast our minds back a few years, the current spot prices were ‘normal’ levels during winter months.
We are nearing the end of January with a positive outlook for the remaining weeks of winter in terms of expected temperatures and supply/storage levels. This should help to keep spikes at bay whilst any wider concerns are monitored.
Yesterday saw the TTF Front Month contract settle at €27.23 (from €27.26) and the NBP Front Month contract at 66.75p (from 66.91p).
