Italgas plans to invest €1bn in Greece’s energy transition as part of the group’s 2024-2030 Strategic Plan, it said.
- The programme will be executed by subsidiary Enaon and aims to expand the mechanisation in off-grid areas to replace polluting fuels like lignite and coal, to digitally upgrade the network with new “H2-ready” smart meters, to grow renewable gas production, especially biomethane and green hydrogen, to drive decarbonization and to adapt and repurpose the existing network to increase flexibility and support a sustainable energy system.
- The plan allocates €650mn for the construction of over 3,000km of new network.

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Corrective Cycle In Oil Futures Still In Play
Nov-04 11:53
- On the commodity front, Gold is unchanged. A fresh cycle low last week highlights an extension of the bear cycle that started Oct 20. The retracement since Oct 20 has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. The 20-day EMA has been breached, signalling scope for a test of the 50-day EMA, at $3864.7. Clearance of this EMA would strengthen a short-term bear theme. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high.
- WTI futures remain in a corrective cycle for now. Note that price has recently traded through the 50-day EMA, currently at $61.05. The breach of this EMA signals scope for a stronger recovery. Note too that a resistance at $62.34, the Oct 8 high, has also been pierced. A clear move through it would expose key resistance at $65.77, the Sep 26 high. First key support and the bear trigger is unchanged at $55.96, the Oct 20 low.
FOREX: EURUSD Testing Below 1.15 as Current Bear Leg Extends
Nov-04 11:51
- EURUSD has been edging lower on Tuesday, extending the pair’s selloff following the breach of important 1.1542 support last Friday. Current price action signals scope for a more protracted move south, towards key support at 1.1392, the Aug 1 low.
- Price action has likely been assisted by the sharp reversal for EURJPY overnight, with the cross threatening a close below the 20-day EMA (intersects at 176.65). The 50-day EMA remains key for EURJPY, having not closed below the average since late May. It intersects today at 175.00.
- The single currency trades on a firmer footing against the likes of AUD and NZD, owing to the strong risk-off impetus across global markets today.
- SocGen think EURUSD would ‘run with’ any break below 1.15 or above 1.17, although their updated forecasts show they believe an upside move is more likely.
- Meanwhile, ING have noted that despite the hawkish repricing in the USD curve, the EUR/USD drop looks a bit overdone. They add that their short-term fair value model is now showing a 1% undervaluation, and with positioning now much more balanced, the pair can enjoy faster rallies on poor US jobs market news. ING remain optimistic on a rally into year-end to 1.18-1.20.
