| The system is balanced this morning, as the weather remains mild and demand is slowing leading up to Christmas. Norwegian flows are increasing, Russian flows are stable, and LNG send-outs and storage stocks remain ample. | Contracts across the curve have opened higher this morning, and are expected to remain on a bullish trend for the time being.

Brent Summary Brent 1st-nearby prices have fallen significantly, to levels last seen in October 2017. The drop to $56.26/b is seen as a reaction to the ‘OPEC+’ deal reached on 7th December, which may not be enough to solve current problems.
