Europe Energy Prices Keep Soaring as Russia Tightens Supply

European energy prices extended a scorching rally as Russia tightened its grip on the region’s energy supply, further threatening the economy and key markets.

Benchmark natural gas surged as much as 14%, and is more than 10 times higher than the usual levels for this time of the year, as supplies through a key pipeline slump. The price surge is crippling Europe’s industrial output, driving up household bills and pushing inflation to the highest in decades. It’s also fed through to the power market with German futures rising further to unprecedented levels on Wednesday.

Europe’s energy crisis reached a new level this summer as Russia started to progressively cut flows through the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany, citing sanctions-related issues with a turbine.

India wheat prices jump to record high, limit scope for govt

Indian wheat prices jumped to a record high, despite a ban on exports, amid strong demand and dwindling supply from a crop damaged by the heatwave.

The price rally has reduced the chances of India supplying substantial amounts of wheat under government-to-government deals with countries struggling to secure shipments amid the disruption of the war in Ukraine.

Local wheat prices jumped to a record 23,547 rupees per tonne on Wednesday. That was up nearly 12% from recent lows that followed the government's surprise ban on exports on May 14.

Supplies in grain markets were much lower this year than normal, showing that 2022 production had dropped far more than the government had estimated, said a Mumbai-based dealer with a global trading firm.

Technically, on intraday charts, the Nifty has maintained a lower top formation and also formed a bearish candle on daily charts, which suggests further correction from the current levels.

A fresh uptrend rally is possible only after the 16600 breakout. Above which, the index could retest the level of 16700-16735.
