The US natural gas price rebounded on Thursday above the continental European benchmark, as the month-ahead contract on Henry Hub gained 4% to hit USD 1.68/MMBtu – outpacing a 2.9% rise in TTF, which closed at USD 1.67/MMBtu. UK NBP also rose 4% to USD 1.53/MMBtu, leaving the US-UK spread virtually unchanged.
Global crude price Brent and US benchmark WTI made significant gains in yesterday’s session on growing confidence that the oil market is emerging from the worst of the coronavirus crisis. Brent climbed 6.6% to USD 31.13/barrel, a fresh four-week high, and WTI rose 9% to USD 27.56/barrel – its highest closing price in six weeks. Both were trading above these prices in intra-day trading on Friday.
