- Investment Funds net short positionings increased by 7,83 to -21,521
- Investment Firm net short positionings edged lower by 1,080 to -349,867.
- Commercial Undertaking net long positionings increased by 4,566 to +291,251 – highest since mid-December 2022.
- EU ETS Dec24 prices pulled back further last week, with further weakness from natural gas prices as supply risks ease, while mild weather and higher renewables output limited fossil-fuel output for early heating demand.
