EU storage continues to trend below the five-year average
"Despite the large draw, it was largely in line with market expectations. Ahead of the release, the market was expecting a draw of around 260Bcf."
"Meanwhile, in Europe, storage continues to trend below the five-year average with it now a little over 63% full, down from 78% at the same stage last year and below the five-year average of 70% full. Milder weather is forecast in NW Europe next week, which could slow the pace of draws."
