POWER: Energinet Launches Consultation on Long-Term Hydrogen Capacity Method

Dec-06 12:37

Danish TSO Energinet has launched a market consultation on the method for defining long-term hydrogen capacity products in Denmark, with feedback due by 10 January 2025, it said today.

  • According to the TSO, the method focuses on how actors will purchase pipeline capacity in advance and on an ongoing basis, with long-capacity products offered as one-year products.
  • Participants can also purchase flexible annual capacity for up to 15 years, allowing for varied capacity bookings each year.
  • After the consultation, Energinet will finalise the method and submit it for approval to the Danish Electricity Supply Authority.

BTP: BTP/Bund Spread Now 4.5bps Wider Today As Euro Equities Weaken

Nov-06 12:34

10-year EGB spreads to Bunds have widened more sharply in the last ~60 minutes, with the BTP/Bund spread now 4.5bps higher today at 129bps.

  • The pullback in European equities will have contributed to the widening, offsetting the impact of today’s dovish ECB pricing and fall in EUR 3m10y swaption vol.
  • A key question in Europe following the US Election Results is the potential impact of higher tariffs on the region’s weak economic outlook.
  • BTP futures have extended lower, now -32 at 119.01. A clear breach of the Oct 31 low at 118.95 exposes support at 118.64 (50.0% retracement of the Jun 11 - Oct 1 bull cycle).
  • Initial firm resistance in BTP futures has been defined at 121.53, the Oct 25 high, where a break is required to cancel the bearish threat. Short-term gains would be considered corrective.

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Bear Cycle In Gilts Extends

Nov-06 12:29
  • In the FI space, Bund futures are trading in a volatile manner and have recovered from their intraday low. The trend direction remains down and the earlier break to a fresh cycle low reinforces current conditions. The 131.00 handle has been cleared, signalling potential for an extension towards 129.99, a Fibonacci projection. Initial key resistance is at 132.22, today’s intraday high. A break of this level would be seen as an early bullish development.
  • A bearish condition in Gilt futures remains intact. The contract has recently traded through the 94.00 handle and is again trading lower, today. 92.99, a 2.00 projection of the Sep 17 - 30 - Oct 1 price swing has been pierced. This signals scope for an extension towards 92.23, a Fibonacci projection. The Oct 30 high of 96.65, is seen as a key S/T resistance where a break is required to highlight a possible base. Initial resistance is 94.73, Nov 1 high.
