  • Gas prices meanwhile have spiked more than 20% in Europe on a combination of Russia reducing gas flows and higher demand from both colder temperatures and plugging the renewables gap from low winds.
  • US heating gas is up a more modest +1% on cooler weather forecast but remains relatively depressed compared to the elevated Sep-Nov levels.
  • Gold has softened in recent trading to be down -0.2% on the day at $1787.2. It eyes $1771.4, the base of the bull channel drawn from the Aug 9 low, whilst resistance is seen at $1815.6, the Nov 26 high.
