Correction The 17 July Daily Briefing described a ~20% fall in European gas that did not happen — August TTF settled at €54.79/MWh on 16 July, essentially flat. During our platform rebuild, a retired machine running an outdated data feed briefly came back online and republished week-old settlements as live prices. The briefing has been withdrawn, and live prices are now verified against exchange settlement history before publication.
