The day before today, the benchmark worth for Eu gasoline reached its perfect stage since mid-December at virtually EUR 43 in line with MWh. The associated fee remains to be being pushed by means of fears of provide shortfalls, Commerzbank’s commodity analyst Barbara Lambrecht notes.
Costs more likely to fall once more if gasoline flows via Ukraine
“If gas continues to flow through Ukraine – which is believed to be the case due to people with knowledge to the matter according to Bloomberg – prices are likely to fall again slightly. Admittedly, further maintenance work is due to be carried out in Norway later this month.”
“However, natural gas storage facilities in the EU are now a good 87% full and the mandatory mark of 90% by 1 November is therefore already within reach. In addition, Asia’s demand for LNG has probably weakened somewhat in the current month and LNG deliveries to Europe have become more attractive again.”
“An easing of the situation on the European gas market should also cause prices in EU emissions trading to fall again somewhat, having briefly risen to almost EUR 74 per ton yesterday as gas became more expensive. However, in view of the stabilisation of production in the energy-intensive sectors, we consider the downside potential to be limited.”
