We understand the energy market can be challenging.

Our specialists compile a Market Drivers report each month.

We have highlighted Bearish drivers, expected to contribute to the market lowering, and Bullish drivers, expected to contribute to the market going higher.

    Bearish Drivers

  • Strong arrivals of LNG should continue.
  • Outlook for slightly milder than normal weather in NWE.
  • Stronger incentives for buyers to increase take under the Russian contracts.
  • Norwegian and UK producers to continue maximizing supply.
  • NWE storage inventory to narrow its gap to the previous Year.
    Bullish Drivers

  • NWE storage inventory will remain record low by the end of February.
  • Risk for colder weather than is outlined by the latest forecast
  • The escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and any military intervention could mean further actions delaying the Nord Stream2 pipeline.
