NATGAS

TTF front month has steadied after retreating to levels seen mid last week. The stabilisation comes from a clearer timeline for the return of Norwegian supply from unplanned outage.

  • TTF JUL 24 up 0.4% at 33.92€/MWh
  • TTF Q3 24 up 0.3% at 34.28€/MWh
  • Norwegian pipeline supplies to Europe are today nominated at 280.5mcm/d amid the unplanned outage at Nyhamna. The outage has been extended until Friday according to Gassco yesterday with the repair schedule from the operator of the Sleipner riser platform expected to take two days.
  • Temperatures in NW Europe are expected to remain cool in the coming week, but above normal temperatures are still expected elsewhere in Europe.
  • Total European gas storage was up to 70.62% full on June 3 according to GIE compared to the five-year seasonal average of 58.6% with net injection rates 30% below normal in the last week.
  • Egypt expects to import over 20 LNG cargoes over the summer to try and ease power shortages in the country – a huge step up for its imports.
  • LNG stockpiles held by Japanese utilities increased 8.25% w/w to 2.23m tons in the week to June 2 from 2.06m tons the previous week, according to data released by the trade ministry.
  • The Biden administration intends to finalize an environmental and economic review of its LNG exports by the end of the first quarter of 2025, following a period of public comment according to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
