Gas prices rebounded on Wednesday in Europe after Equinor announced it had pushed back the restart of its Hammerfest LNG plant.

Norway's Equinor has postponed the restart of production at its Arctic LNG plant in Hammerfest by one week to June 14, according to transparency information updated on Wednesday. Equinor stopped production at Hammerfest LNG located on the Melkoya island on May 31 due to a leak in the cooling circuit.

TTF saw a 6% rise to USD8.26/MMBtu, while NBP increased by 5.5% to USD 7.75/MMBtu.

Meanwhile, high storage levels and relatively modest demand during the summer injection season continue to keep  the Asia spot price nearly flat with only slight price movements. JKM saw a 0.3% rise on Wednesday, with the front-month contract settling at USD 9.24/MMBtu.

Henry Hub saw a 3.1% rise to USD2.33/MMBtu, driven by strengthening gas demand outlook for cooling heading into the second half of June.
