European Gas Prices Fall But Winter Supply Risks Loom -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-02 15:34

0732 GMT - European natural-gas prices fall after President Trump said negotiations with Iran were continuing at a rapid pace, though uncertainty about whether the two sides can ultimately reach an agreement is limiting losses. "The longer this continues, the more likely Asian buyers will need to enter the spot market to cover disrupted contracted volumes," ING analysts say. If that happens, Europe would face increased competition for LNG cargoes just as its gas-storage facilities are only about 40% full, well below the five-year average of 54%. At the same time, the current backwardation in the gas market--when front-month prices trade above winter contracts--is providing little economic incentive for traders and utilities to inject additional gas into storage ahead of winter. In early trading, the benchmark Dutch TTF contract is down 1.8% to 48.20 euros a megawatt-hour. (giulia.petroni@wsj.com)
