Gas contracts displayed mixed movement on Tuesday as improved LNG supply and a stronger Pound helped to erase some of the morning’s gains. Norwegian flows remained weak throughout the session which tightened the system, while bullish oil prices supported far-curve contracts.

Norwegian flows into the UK decreased yesterday which resulted in numerous gains across the curve, although some European contracts displayed no change due to various bank holidays. Early in the session Langeled output stood at 53mcm but fell to 14mcm in the afternoon which resulted in a tight UK gas system. Meanwhile, a sharp rise in oil prices continues to push far-curve contracts higher with on-going supply concerns the main market driver.

The majority of gas contracts displayed a loss on Friday despite a late rally by Brent which ended the session at a strong premium. The UK gas system was long throughout the session due to improved Norwegian flows and increased LNG outlook; weighing on near-curve contracts. Warmer temperatures are also expected to return to the UK before the end of the month which provided further bearish pressure.
