EGBS: Natural Gas Rally Helping To Cap Upside In EGBs

EGBS

The continued extension higher in natural gas prices will also be helping to cap rallies in EGBs, with TTF futures reaching E50/Mwh for the first time since Jan 3.

  • Our commodities team notes that the rally is supported by high gas storage withdrawals and concern to low winter stocks, as the IEA forecast a tight market in 2025 despite rising LNG supply.
  • Front month TTF has traded through the initial resistance levels with the short term bull trigger at the Jan. 2 high of €51/MWh.
  • 1- and 2-year Euro inflation swaps have moved away from intraday lows through the afternoon, but remain 3-4bps lower today. The 5y5y inflation swap is 1.7bps lower today at 2.0863%, down from last Tuesday’s multi-week high of 2.1587%.
