Gas prices sky rocketed yesterday due to concerns regarding French nuclear availability which could result in very high gas demand over the winter months. On top of this, further production cuts are expected at the Groningen field in the Netherlands which will also impact European gas availability. There is also a possibility that Russian flows into Europe could be cut in the near future as Gazprom has lost its 3rd party exemption.

Gas prices closed higher on Thursday, making marginal gains in line with the broader energy complex which saw both coal and oil close higher day-on-day. Colder weather and a drop in Norwegian flows were supporting spot prices, although gains remained limited due to continuous LNG deliveries and strong wind power generation.
