See below for the latest weekly wholesale energy market movements that have happened in the last week.
Same story, new week. Even after a lengthy 3-day trading vacation due to the bank holiday, markets are remarkably calm. As the spread between these periods starts to get wider, we are beginning to see the pattern of the near curve discounting more than the Winter-23 period onwards.

Yesterday, Brent Crude fell below the $80 mark as a result of rising interest rates and weaker-than-expected economic data from China.
