UK Gas Weekly Summary
Gas Summary:
Prompt contracts were dominated by the bears last week, with the majority of contracts slipping into negative territory session on session. Meanwhile, the Day-ahead contract managed to muster some strength on Monday in anticipation of planned maintenance at the Easington entry point on Tuesday. The outage lasted 24-hours and ceased import flows via the Langeled pipeline, however a boost in Norwegian deliveries via Vesterled pipeline significantly offset the impact. This in part offered bearish pressure to prices, although imports were limited via the Langeled pipeline as it returned to service on Wednesday, following annual maintenance at the Ormen Lange field, which had production curtailed until the 28th May. However, LNG send-out from the South Hook terminal rose to a two year high during the week and remained high as the facility prepared for a glut of impending arrivals before the beginning of May. This subsequently held the system in oversupply for the remainder of the week, continually suppressing products below their previous closing points. A similar sentiment was casted over the near curve, as confirmation arrived that the Al Samriya and the Al Kharsaah will dock at South Hook, amid two already destined for British ports. Wednesday saw the bulls make a brief appearance, lifting contracts a touch on the back of revised weather forecasts for June as temperatures are anticipated to outturn below seasonal normal. However, this was short lived and the downward trend resumed by Thursday, in response to a strengthening pound relative to euro following mounting concerns over Greece’s’ ability to repay its debts. Further along the curve, contracts sought direction from bearish crude oil until Wednesday, following a strong US dollar. Mid-week movement stagnated as further dated contracts battled with the impact of a strong pound against a bullish Brent crude market. Eventually currency broke the balance allowing prices to be suppressed further into negative territory through to the end of the week.

UK Power Weekly Summary
Power Summary: The near curve was in the firm grip of the bears for the majority of the week, with products taking direction from their corresponding NBP contracts. Gas prices were suppressed by a glut of LNG scheduled to arrive in the UK before the end of May which in turn prompted losses on power equivalents. However by Wednesday, the bulls took brief control, lifting prices on the back of colder weather conditions predicted for the beginning of June. This was temporary, as Thursday saw the downward trend resume in response to an upturn on the pound relative to the euro. By Friday, the strong LNG supply outlook returned to focus and products were lead further into negative territory. Similar direction was captured across the far curve, supported by movement on the wider fuels complex. Prices began the week softening in reaction to a weak Coal market. Meanwhile on Tuesday, a late sell off on the Carbon market helped supplemented the downward momentum. By mid-week, progress was rather muted as a bullish Brent crude market counterbalanced a strong pound. Towards the end of the week, the bears tipped the balance influenced by bearish movement on Coal and Brent crude. Prompt contracts were initially undermined by high wind and solar generation expected for Tuesday. However, bearish sentiment on corresponding NBP contracts on the back of session on session oversupply in gas system, provided additional pressure to products. This subsequently dampened the price of gas fired generation amid relatively low wind generation on Wednesday, which buoyed prices during the middle of the week. This was short-lived as the return of the Dungeness BR-21 nuclear reactor, helped weaken prices on Thursday. In spite of this by the end of the week, the bulls returned to lift products in response to a decline in wind production.

Other Fuels Summary:
Coal Bearish sentiment from weak Brent Crude market and a strong US Dollar against the Euro softened the price of coal for much of last week. Prices did firm a touch mid-week in response to the news that the Indian Adani Mining Company had secured buyers for the majority of coal it plans to produce from a large mine in Australia beginning in 2017. Yet, the week finished with the bears in control once again due to bearish influence from Brent Crude, which softened on the back of weak German economic data. Carbon Early in Week 21 the European Central Bank announced it would expand its Quantitative Easing programme which caused the Euro to soften against the US Dollar; and in turn weakened EUA prices considerably. It is possible that as prices fell so hard at the beginning of the week they broke key support levels, causing further technical selling. As the week ended soft German power prices and EUA auctions by EU nations helped the bears maintain control.

Weekly Market News
Weekly Market Events:
News that the European Central Bank would expand its Quantitative Easing programme to support the Euro economy lifted stocks at the beginning of the week, to highs not seen for several years. As Week 21 progressed anxiety over the ability of the Greek government to repay its debts lessened and good Purchasing Managers Index data emerged from France, which helped to buoy shares further. The markets did slip a bit on Friday, however, on the back of a potential interest rate hike in the U.S.A this year.
