European natural gas hub rebounded strongly off record lows on Tuesday. July-dated contracts on UK NBP and Dutch TTF soared 24.1% and 19.7%, respectively, to close at the equivalent of USD 1.37/MMBtu and USD 1.59/MMBtu. US Henry Hub gained only 0.2% in the session, thereby narrowing the ‘American premium’ for gas against both European hubs. CME’s JKM futures, an indicator of Asian spot LNG, climbed 5.3% to USD 2.11/MMBtu.
Crude oil prices continued their recovery, with July-dated Brent climbing 3.3% to close at USD 39.57/barrel, while WTI gained 3.9% to USD 36.81/barrel. Both contracts were trading up by around 1-2% on Tuesday morning, with Brent on track to close above USD 40/barrel for the first time since 6 March 2020.
