Current Market Drivers:

📉 Asian spot LNG prices eased from a four-month high as the Iran-Israel ceasefire lowered supply risk, refocusing market attention on weak demand in China and South Korea.

☮️ The Israel-Iran ceasefire appears to be holding and Iranian rhetoric surrounding their nuclear programme appears to favour a return to nuclear oversight which could help to maintain the peace arrangement.

⚡ Ofgem has provisionally approved a $33 billion investment plan to upgrade the UK’s electricity and gas networks, enhancing grid capacity and resilience to support renewable energy expansion.

🌍 Energy futures remain supported as first indirect Hamas-Israel ceasefire talks in Doha ended without progress, sustaining geopolitical uncertainty and the risk premium in the market.

💨 Summer wind generation in Europe has declined over the past decade in combination with more instances of heatwaves, driving greater intraday volatility as peak demand increasingly mismatches renewable output.
