Cold snap boosts prices in European markets

By Catriona Scott 20 April 2016

Lower temperatures are supporting prices following the cold snap that has hit much of Europe. The NBP day-ahead rose to nearly 29 p/th ($4.17/MMBtu) on Tuesday, up from 28 p/th at the end of last week, supported by an increase in heating-related gas demand. Day-ahead prices have also risen on the continent, with the TTF up to roughly 28 p/th, up by more than 1 p/th since the end of last week.
