Whatever your views on the markets, we have to keep the lights on, the lights will only stay on with food going into the power stations, 40-50% of the food used to make electricity in the UK is Gas, there are alternatives but when you look at global Gas & LNG prices (NBP TTF Asian) they are prohibiting countries using it for power generation now, where I live the cost of LNG is now greater than they charge per KWH, we have started to have intermittent blackouts, they are switching to oil. The metal industry uses huge quantities of energy to manufacture metals, and so do cement, paper pulp, and chemicals/fertilizers. Putin will do whatever it takes to keep the prices up, and America will fight with algos attacking oil prices daily.
