DAILY MARKET REPORT – 06/03/2024
Another upward session seen yesterday as we bounce off the lows seen in late February.
No sudden change to the overall outlook with healthy gas storage levels, slightly colder than seasonal normal temperatures forecast for the coming weeks and low levels of LNG arrivals in that time – which of course will be putting some degree of negativity on the market – but these things can change very quickly.
Yesterday saw the TTF Front Month contract settle at €27.47 (from €26.89) and the NBP Front Month contract at 68.70p (from 67.36p).
No unplanned outage this morning and we see a flow level at 345mcm (343). Russian nominations showing Velke Kapusany at 39.4mcm (39.4) and Sudzha at 42.4mcm (42.4). Nord Stream remains unavailable. EU gas storage showing at 61.91% full as per AGSI+. LNG vessels due to arrive in UK next couple of weeks is 2.
