As we look at the current state of the energy market, we see that there are both positive and negative factors influencing prices. On one hand, strong renewable production has helped to maintain a bearish trend, while on the other hand, concerns over declining demand for oil due to slower growth in China and the recent banking crisis have brought some instability to the market.
In particular, the recent banking crisis has been a cause for concern for many in the energy industry. With central banks having to choose between fighting inflation and supporting the banking sector, there is a lot of uncertainty about how this will impact prices moving forward. Additionally, the crisis has already caused instability in the oil market, with Brent decreasing due to concerns over declining demand and slower than expected growth from China.
Despite these challenges, the energy market has remained relatively stable, with prices following the fluctuations in the gas market. For example, prices rose in mid-March due to strikes in France impacting the availability of nuclear power plants, but then fell back again. Some European countries were already injecting gas into stocks, which has helped to keep prices relatively stable.
Looking ahead, there are still some questions that remain unanswered about the energy market. For example, how will ongoing strikes further impact the availability of nuclear power plants in France? What impact will the banking crisis have on the energy industry and will it spread to other markets? And what will the inflation figures for Europe reveal when they are published?
