European gas prices continued to climb on Tuesday, lifted by stronger buying by market participants who deemed recent sell offs as overdone.
The front-month TTF and NBP contracts closed ~3% higher on Tuesday, with the UK gas benchmark closing at the equivalent of USD 23.58/MMBtu. The Dutch marker settled at the equivalent of USD 22.95/MMBtu.
European gas prices rallied despite stronger gas imports from Russia.
Elsewhere, gas prices in the US and Asia bounced back. In the US, gas benchmark Henry Hub recorded a 6.9% gain to close at USD 5.54/MMBtu. Asian LNG marker JKM closed 5.5% higher at USD 30.81/MMBtu.
The European carbon price was pushed higher by stronger gas prices. The front-month EUA contract closed 4.4% higher at EUR 59.45/tonne.
Oil prices diverged but remained largely flat day-on-day as the market awaits news from the US regarding the latest weekly domestic oil storage report. Eyes are also focused on OPEC’s latest monthly meeting scheduled for Thursday.
Brent closed USD 0.01/barrel higher at USD 84.72/barrel, with WTI down 0.2% to close at USD 83.91/barrel.
