Further strong gains saw UK and continental European gas hubs almost close the gap on the Asian LNG spot price on Tuesday. The front-month contract on UK NBP gained another 8.8% to hit USD 2.58/MMBtu and Dutch TTF rose 8.1% to USD 2.54/MMBtu. NBP and TTF have now risen by 47% and 40% since Friday.
US benchmark Henry Hub rose 4.4% to USD 2.19/MMBtu, and CME’s JKM futures were unchanged at USD 2.69/MMBtu.
Crude oil prices notched up yet more incremental gains, as Brent and US benchmark WTI rose 0.6% and 1.7% to close at USD 44.43/barrel and USD 41.70/barrel, respectively, despite opening the session down slightly on Monday’s close. Brent and WTI were trading up by less than 1% in intra-day trades on Wednesday.
