TTF Open Interest Holding Just Below Record Levels from 2021

NATGAS

ICE Endex TTF aggregate open interest at the end of April increased to the highest since November 2021 after a rising trend seen since late 2022.

  • Open interest is now at 1.957m and just below the record levels seen during 2021 after seeing a significant drop to 0.886m amid the energy crisis in 2022.
  • The increase has been supported by a drop in market volatility and prices throughout the winter months amid healthy supply, high gas storage and muted demand. Risks to LNG supply have however contributed to some support to futures prices in recent weeks.
  • TTF second month implied volatility has fallen significantly from the highs seen in 2022 and 2023 and is holding just above the lowest since June 2021 at 62.1% today. Volatility however remains above pre crisis levels.
  • TTF JUN 24 down 2.3% at 31.08€/MWh
