European gas prices slid on the final day of trading last week, with the result seeing TTF’s premium over Asian LNG marker JKM narrow.
The September-dated TTF and NBP contracts closed ~2% lower on Friday, with the former settling at the equivalent of USD 58.51/MMBtu and the UK marker closing at USD 45.05/MMBtu.
The loss, coupled with a minor gain by JKM, saw the TTF-JKM spread narrow to USD 13.85/MMBtu.
In the US, gas benchmark Henry Hub dipped by 0.6% but remained in the USD 8/MMBtu range.
As for crude, prices made a minor recovery on Friday, however Brent and WTI ended the week at their lowest levels since February amid lingering recession fears.
