  • EUA DEC 25 down 1.1% at 81.7 EUR/MT
  • TTF Gas MAR 25 down 1.5% at 56.91 EUR/MWh
  • German Spark Spreads M1  down 8.3% at -20.9957 EUR/MWh

  • EU ETS December 2025 allowances are pulling back with losses in EU gas prices ahead of the release of the COT data today. There will be no auction today.
  • Wind output in Germany is forecast to decrease to 10.25GW during base load on Thursday, down from 16.12GW on Wednesday according to SpotRenewables.
  • The latest two-week ECMWF weather forecast for Dusseldorf suggested mean temperatures have been revised lower to remain below the seasonal average throughout the forecast period.
