Gas prices initially opened at a premium yesterday but decreased as the session progressed. Warmer temperatures are now expected as we close in on the weekend which will result in lower demand, allowing storage injections to take place. Planned maintenance in Norway and an unexpected outage at St Fergus provided resistance, while LNG deliveries will be sparse over the coming weeks.
