Wholesale gas and electricity prices dropped on Wednesday as traders finished closing out their positions and market fundamentals re-established themselves.
We are hopeful, that after the increases of the past couple of weeks, daily movements will now be downwards.
| Gas: NBP prices declined yesterday. Wind output exceeded forecasts, pressuring the day ahead contract. Above seasonal temperatures throughout the remainder of March are likely to impact heating related demand. Power: Prices declined throughout the curve yesterday, helped by downwards movement in NBP pricing. Gas fired power demand throughout the month to date has averaged 3.2GW below the 4-year average. Power demand in general throughout the same period is 0.6GW below the 4-year average. Oil: Crude prices fell off yesterday, although much of the risk premium from attacks on Russian refineries remains. EIA data has shown a decline in inventory last week, however, refinery run rates increase for the fifth week in a row. Carbon (EU ETS): The ICE Dec-24 closed at €60.62/t in yesterday’s session. Opening lower this morning, the contract is trading at €60.14/t at the time of writing. Carbon (UKAs): The ICE Dec-24 closed at £36.40/t yesterday. Opening lower today, the contract is currently trading at £35.88/t. |
