European gas prices saw another decline on Friday, as bearishness ensued on the market with the return of more optimal temperatures to the wildfire-ravaged south of the continent.
Milder weather forecasts for Southern Europe following several weeks of intense heatwaves and solid renewable output added to the downside.
Gas prices saw their third-consecutive daily decline on Friday, with TTF down 9.1% in Euro per megawatt hour terms to EUR 25.84/MWh. Due to the change in the USD/EUR FX rates, this translated into a 0.3% rise to USD 8.36/MMBtu.
Meanwhile, NBP saw a 9.1% fall in its native currency and settled at USD 8.19/MMBtu.
The Henry Hub in the US, on the other hand, rose by 5.9% propelled by record heat and surging cooling demand. The front-month price settled at USD 2.64/MMBtu.
