Stepping on the Gas.The structure of the German and European gas market has been constantly changing since the liberalisation of the gas market began. Gas prices have gone up and down. Only those capable of correctly assessing current business options can make economically sound decisions concerning purchasing and trading natural gas. We support you in this endeavour. Although a market for the trading of gas has developed in Europe, the calculation of prices is often determined by complex and barely transparent mechanisms. We know the big players’ strategies, current products, and the actual contract prices in the supply chains. We use our knowledge to support our clients in their operative and strategic procurement decisions. This could range from gas tenders for a public utility to the question of whether long-term import contracts which are subject to fixed oil prices are still sensible business moves. When assessing gas-purchasing contracts we use complex models that take historic prices and price correlations on the international gas and oil markets into consideration. Naturally, we always look ahead as well, helping to develop the best strategy for the current market conditions, based on fundamental analysis. |
