European prices supported by supply/demand tightness

Cold weather and supply issues have forced up European hub prices following a mild winter of low prices. The NBP day-ahead increased to roughly 35 p/th ($5.11/MMBtu) on Tuesday – a rise of over 6 p/th since last week and the highest it has been so far this year. Continental hub prices have seen similar rises over the past week, with the TTF up to around 33 p/th on Tuesday.
