European wholesale gas prices fell 3.5% on Friday, leaving the Dutch TTF and British NBP benchmarks down about 15% for the week. The decline ended a five-week rally as falling oil prices and changing expectations after the U.S. midterm elections unwound energy-market risk premiums.
Lower energy prices can ease fuel and production costs, putting near-term downward pressure on European gas prices. The sharp weekly fall indicates that geopolitical and political risk premiums have retreated.
After 59 past bearish macro events, Natural Gas moved a median +1.3% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -5.0% to +5.2%), and -2.0% over 20.
