TTF Steady Amid Bearish Trend as Volatility Dips

NATURAL GAS

Front month TTF has bounced between 29.21€/MWh and 30.72€/MWh today but is maintaining a bearish trend in place since October. Downside pressure has returned with the shift from cold weather this week to milder temperatures in Europe next week to combine with above average gas storage levels. Support comes from supply risks amid Red Sea diversions and lower US export terminal feedgas due to weather disruption.

  • The shape of the TTF curve has remained almost unchanged in the last week with the forward prices relatively flat until the end of the coming summer.
  • The Feb 2024 - Sum 24 is at -0.15€/MWh, the Sum 24 – Win 24 spread is holding steady this week around -4.5€/MWh while the Sum24-Sum25 maintains around -1.7€/MWh.
  • TTF second month implied volatility has fallen back from around 96% at the start of the year to 81.05% while front month 30 day historic volatility has edged down to 72.7%.
    • TTF FEB 24 down -0.8% at 29.67€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 24 down -0.7% at 29.88€/MWh
    • TTF WIN 24 down -0.3% at 34.5€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 25 down -0.4% at 31.68€/MWh
