THREAD: TTF month-ahead prices jumped from a low at €23/MWh early June to an intraday high at almost €50/MWh yesterday. In the weekly @Energyscan_egm podcast, I discuss about the main drivers behind this spectacular rebound #gas #LNG #ONGT 1/10

First element behind the rally has been the reduction in #LNG supply to Europe, following the drop in TTF prices below Asian spot LNG prices that opened some arbitrage opportunities. Nevertheless, Europe LNG supply still sits at healthy levels. 2/10 
Then the planned outage affecting the Nyhamna gas processing plant in #Norway with a 80 mm cm/day impact on export capacity has been extended twice: by a week on June 9 and then by 24 days on June 13. 3/10 umm.gassco.no/details?id=385…

Well, let’s have a look at @NobelPrize Twitter handle if they’re paying tribute to this great man, who was awarded the Nob Peace Prize in 2010, but was prevented by China from attending the prize ceremony.
Sadly it looks salmon export 2 China has very negative impacts on Norway.

The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.
Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.
About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.

1/ The head of @FIIA_fi, @MikaAaltola, warns that in the long run, #Russia will try to turn #Finland into a ”different and special” #NATO member, something between #Hungary and #Norway.
This is noteworthy as there is a cabinet formation process going on in Helsinki.

2/ In Hungary, Russia used three important tools to increase her influence, eventually enabling Orbán’s autocratization:
1) Demoralization in front of the totalitarian heritage (inadequate #lustration)
2) Corrupt networks of the ancien regime
3) Organized crime with Russian ties

#Finlandization turned into #PostFinlandization, protecting local #KGB-connected elites. Staying outside #NATO made the problem even more dangerous.

1. The project to upgrade Norway's Hammerfest LNG plant (involving conversion of compressors to electric drive, construction of a booster compressor station and creation of a CO2 disposal system) tripled in price to $3.5bn, operator Equinor said
2. In December, Equinor presented the project as Snohvit Future with a budget of NOK 13.2 billion and has now raised its estimate to NOK 37 billion. The project will require a plant shutdown for almost six months - for 170 days.

A few years ago spyware like #Pegasus was was treated as a human rights issue.
But the dizzying speed of proliferation made big problems for governments, forcing them to prepare positions & action.

But devil will be in the implementations. Civil society will be watching.
(Note: issue wasn't covered in White House Spyware Executive Order on Monday, so nice to see USA commit here)

I've repeatedly praised #Finland's approach to standing up #Russia & have written on its own #Zeitenwende in joining #NATO.

- According to public info they have agreed to send

-But NO #Leopard2 MBTs

In this context, the Pirate Party of Catalonia gets an honorable mention, as their account have been throttled hard. I'm thinking the Americans did the Madrid fascists a favor by silencing the Catalan peoples voices.

Seems #Germany is upset about the limited number of #Leopard donors to #Ukraine. While I have long been arguing for more aid to Ukraine, I'm somewhat unsure what exactly is the core of the criticism in this case.
The decision to approve exports was good, and #Scholtz et al. deserve credit for it. At the same time, it took months longer than it had to. This discrepancy is at the heart of (at least my) criticism towards #Germany.
Make no mistake, Germany does *a lot*, but every step is accompanied by hand-wringing and vocal concerns about the risk of escalation, which undercut the diplomatic part of it.
