European gas prices remain well supported – ING
Source Fxstreet
The EIA released its weekly natural gas storage report in which US working storage was reported to have fallen by 223Bcf, less than the 248Bcf draw the market was expecting. The smaller-than-expected draw and forecasts for some warmer weather saw Henry Hub tick lower yesterday, ING’s commodity analyst Warren Patterson notes.
Concerns over EU gas storage remain unchanged
“European gas prices remain relatively well supported, with TTF trading just shy of EUR50/MWh. Concerns over EU gas storage remain with inventories now below 58% full, down from 74% at the same stage last year and below the five-year average of 66%.”
“The market and member countries are becoming increasingly concerned about the task of refilling storage through the injection season and the fact that the forward curve provides no incentive to store gas for next winter. The forward curve is in backwardation between summer 2025 and winter 2025/26. Talk of subsiding the refill of storage is growing.”
