DAILY MARKET REPORT – 21/02/2024
A small uptick in yesterdays session as some of the Norwegian assets slow production slightly.
As mentioned yesterday, we’re currently sat at price levels not seen for some time so these levels will be tested, however the underlying picture seems to be that we could go lower still with gas storage withdrawals slowing of late and holding around two-thirds full.
Yesterday saw the TTF Front Month contract settle at €24.17 (from €23.70) and the NBP Front Month contract at 59.29p (from 58.20p).

Nord Stream remains unavailable. EU gas storage showing at 65.12% full as per AGSI+. LNG vessels due to arrive in UK next couple of weeks is 4.
