The Bank of England reported that UK front-month gas futures averaged 216 pence per therm over the 15 working days to October 27, 27% above its July adverse-scenario assumption for the fourth quarter. Brent crude averaged $108 per barrel over the same period, 5% above its comparable stress-case assumption.
The higher-than-assumed gas and oil averages signal greater energy-cost pressure than the Bank had built into its stress scenario, supporting energy prices and potentially raising costs across feed supply chains.
