Near Term TTF Falling But Sum24 and Beyond More Steady

NATURAL GAS

The low winter demand, steady supplies and expected high end of heating season gas storage levels have driven the front of the TTF curve significantly lower over the last month or so but moves in seasons in Sum24 and beyond have been more muted.

  • The March 23, Sum23 and Win23 contracts are down about 18% over the last month but Sum24 is down only 7% and Win24 down just 5%.
  • The smaller decline reflects the lower price rise and risk premium that had previously been priced into those contracts. Prices in Sum24 and beyond reflect the reduced supply risk with the hope for a gradual increase in global liquefaction capacity after 2024 combined with the current ramping up of EU regasification capacity.
  • Disruption to near term LNG supplies into Europe remains an upside risk for the coming summer and the ability to restock storage before next winter.
    • TTF MAR 23 down -5.5% at 49.13€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 23 down -4.7% at 50.71€/MWh
    • TTF WIN 23 down -3.3% at 58.4€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 24 down -2.7% at 54.85€/MWh
    • TTF WIN 24 down -2.6% at 56.7€/MWh
