WOOD Flash – European natural gas monthly: October 2020

October saw the continuation of the recovery in European gas prices, with TTF averaging EUR 14.0/MWh, well above the same month last year. We believe that we are now seeing a combination of demand recovery, as well as continued supply restraint. LNG supply is 26% below last year and almost as low as in 2018; and Russian supply is 7% below a year ago; but North African supply has finally normalised, and is 40% above the previous month. US LNG has dwindled to almost nothing. In July, the latest month for which we have figures, demand in the EU was just 0.7% below last year.
