What happened to gas prices last week? UK Gas has become increasingly volatile over the past week, as we see fundamentals changing on a daily basis and causing change in direction. The steady upward movements we have seen, have been caused by slight upward revisions to originally mild weather (still above seasonal normal, but colder that initially forecast), sharp Oil increases on the back of OPEC and non-OPEC countries both now agreeing to production cuts – causing supply uncertainty around the world, we have also been experiencing increased in demand, and UK system tightness. Any price falls have been according to, French Nuclear units being expected to come back online towards the end of December, strengthening GBP on the back of weakness in the Eurozone following the Italian Referendum and finally a weaker dollar – ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting this week. What specifically affected prices? Upwards Movement Slight upwards revisions to milder weather – still above seasonal norm but colder. Oil increase – OPEC and non-OPEC countries have now both agreed production cuts. Increase in demand and UK system tightness. Downwards Movement Mild weather (up to 5°C above seasonal norm) – reducing demand. French Nuclear units are expected to be back operational at the end of December. Strengthening GBP following uncertainty in the Eurozone after the Italian Referendum. Weaker dollar – ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting this week. Drawdown in US stocks.
POWER UPDATE From now until the end of the year, it seems there are less and less chances to see a flurry of high spot prices. Temperatures look rather mild to end 2016 and supply is improving with few hurdles. Belgium will gain 1GW tonight and a 4-5GW rise in nuclear available capacities in a month-time look now likely since the French regulator ASN almost cleared the way for the restart of 6 further reactors. Meanwhile we would not completely agree with this view since a lot can still happen until the end of the winter, markets stick to this story for the time being and markets traded down significantly recently. They traded down to such extent that strong technical support levels were broken and are close to be broken. The API2 year-ahead coal contract broke in earlier days its 100-day moving average as well as an upward trend line in place since February: breaking this support line is a strong indicator that markets are now questioning the fundamentals of the 2016-bull run as Chinese policy of cutting output is loosening and European fundamentals look healthier.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GAS PRICES LAST WEEK? Gas has been volatile over the past week, not taking a clear direction and moving up and down as and when. Most volatility is caused by Oil prices. Oil prices are changing direction every day, over uncertainty around the OPEC decision to cut production (meeting taking place 30th November). Upward movements are being caused by falling UK Temperatures, which are expected to be below average for December and January, therefore increasing demand and pushing prices up. Last week we also saw prices rise, after liquidity thinned during the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday, as traders kept from taking large positions. Last week, the Chancellor's Autumn statement caused the pound to strengthen which in turn discourages Euro-backed traders from buying any UK Gas which consequently impacted prices. What specifically affected prices? Upwards Movement • Volatile Oil Prices – OPEC’s decision 30th Nov. • Cold December and January – increasing demand. • Thin liquidity after the Thanksgiving holiday. • Outage at St Fergus plant. Downwards Movement • Chancellors autumn statement caused the pound to strengthen, which discouraged euro-backed traders from buying any UK Gas. • Volatile Oil Prices – prices down, doubts whether OPEC’s production cut will happen.
POWER UPDATE ~ A downward revision in temperatures for the end of this week will likely be supportive today, particularly on French power prices. Combined to weak wind output, this should be significantly supportive for power prices delivered tomorrow and Wednesday. December prices are also to be moderately supported. Though, nuclear availability in France came up over the weekend. St Laurent-2 is gradually ramping up after a prolonged outage and additional safety tests. Currently, 480MW out of 915MW are available. GAS UPDATE ~ As expected, temperatures dropped over the weekend across Europe, giving a boost to gas demand. UK gas demand is expected to be almost 30% above seasonal norms today. Weather conditions are likely to remain cold this week with peak demand expected tomorrow, which could support day-ahead prices today. In addition, Norwegian production is still constrained by an unplanned outage at the Heimdal platform this morning and flows remain 10-15 mm cm/day below pre-outage levels. All in all, spot and near-curve prices could be supported by tighter supply/demand fundamentals today although the return of closer-to-normal temperatures by the end of the week could keep a lid on gas prices in the coming days.
