Crude oil prices tapered their losses on Wednesday after opening lower due to the cancellation of US economic stimulus talks until after next month’s presidential election. Brent yesterday closed down 1.5% at USD 41.99/barrel having opened the session down 1.7%. WTI yesterday fell 1.8% to USD 39.95/barrel after dipping more than 2% at the open.
US gas benchmark Henry Hub recouped Tuesday’s losses by rising 3.7% on Wednesday to hit USD 2.61/MMBtu. European hubs NBP and TTF gained 3.6% and 3% to close at the equivalent of USD 4.98/MMBtu and USD 4.73/MMBtu, respectively. CME’s November-dated JKM futures contract rose 0.7% to USD 5.09/MMBtu.
The European carbon price stemmed recent losses, as month-ahead ETS allowance (EUA) futures gained 0.4% to close at EUR 26.89/tonne.
