Crude oil prices snapped back into life on Tuesday, as Gulf of Mexico oil and gas operators shut in production and evacuated personnel ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Sally. Month-ahead Brent jumped 2.3% to USD 40.53/barrel and WTI gained 2.7% to close at USD 38.28/barrel on the prospect of GoM output being reduced for the third weather-related event in as many weeks.
The European carbon price relinquished some of Monday’s strong gains, as month-ahead ETS allowance (EUA) futures fell 2.2% to EUR 29.76/tonne.
Natural gas prices remained buoyant, with US benchmark Henry Hub gaining 2.3% to close at USD 2.36/MMBtu. European gas hubs NBP and TTF again both gained around 2% to close at the equivalent of USD 3.73/MMBtu and USD 3.78/MMBtu, respectively. CME’s JKM futures contract was again virtually unchanged at USD 4.31/MMBtu.
