US gas benchmark Henry Hub hit its highest level since November 2019 on Thursday, with the front-month price settling at USD 2.58/MMBtu. The rally was attributed to production declines offshore the Gulf of Mexico, with producers shutting in production as Hurricane Laura lashed the region. Lower production will help ease gas storage injections, with US gas inventories at 3.42 Tcf for the week ending 21 August, the US Energy Information Administration said on Thursday.
European gas prices fell for the first time this week, with the front-month Dutch TTF and UK NBP both settling ~3% lower. CME’s JKM futures contract also fell by ~3% to settle at USD 3.98/MMBtu.
Oil prices also slid, with WTI and Brent down 0.8% and 1.2% respectively.
