Back into the yo-yo of sessions as yesterday saw prices rise once again with the front month contracts back above those key levels of £1/therm and €40/MWh.

It is expected that Russian gas will increase to Hungary after a memorandum of understanding was signed yesterday.  Hungary have suggested the access to additional capacity through the Turkstream pipeline may offset some of the loss of flow to Ukraine at the end of the year.

Warmer temperatures are expected next week for a few days before returning to seasonal normal.
