Weaker oil prices helped to weigh on the gas market towards the end of yesterday’s session. Contracts were stable for most of the day following early morning gains which were caused by planned production cuts at the Dutch Groningen facility. Meanwhile, temperatures were forecast to be below average for the remainder of this month, offering further support at the start of the session.

Production at the Groningen gas facility will be cut by 10% in the 2017/18 gas year, falling from 24bcm to 21.6bcm; this resulted in strong upward movement on European markets. Meanwhile, the Pound weakened following Theresa May’s call for a snap election, slightly limiting gains at the front of the curve and offering support to those further out. Temperatures are also expected to remain below average for the rest of April, further contributing to the bullish sentiment.
