Natural gas prices had the market talking how far we can go. Even as TTF prices have climbed above €36/MWh that’s still a lot lower than Gasoil which costs about €47/MWh. Of course, the spread is narrowing, but expect a lagged spike – looking at the above chart, oil product returns have an increasing correlation with TTF returns as TTF price increases! And the tanker market is making things worse for diesel: the arb from the USGC should almost be considered closed as the prompt HOGO swap sits $3/bbl higher w/w at over $17/bbl, while TC14 rate remain elevated, with physical brokers saying there was “limited inquiry”. More regarding the TTF spike in the details!
