TTF Extends Decline Amid Weak Near Term Fundamentals

NATURAL GAS

European TTF extends the decline from yesterday with Dec23 falling from over 56€/MWh at the start of the week back below 47€/MWh. There are currently no signs of an escalation of the Israel conflict to the wider Middle East region which could further pose supply risks. Bearish short-term fundamentals with near-full storage, low demand due to mild weather and forecasts for high wind power output in NW Europe are adding further downside.

    • TTF DEC 23 down -2.9% at 46.62€/MWh
    • TTF Q1 24 down -2.5% at 48.8€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 24 down -2.2% at 47.12€/MWh
    • TTF WIN 24 down -1.9% at 50.71€/MWh
  • The latest weather forecast is relatively unchanged with above normal temperatures for NW and central Europe this week drifting back towards normal in the second week of the outlook.
