Wholesale Energy Market Update: What\u2019s Changing in Today\u2019s Market<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wholesale energy markets remain highly sensitive to geopolitical events, supply constraints and shifting global trade flows but today\u2019s dynamics differ in important ways from previous market shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session will provide a focused update on current wholesale power and gas market conditions, exploring the key drivers influencing prices and trading behaviour today, and why this period of uncertainty feels structurally different from past volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on live market observations, the session will examine how geopolitical risk, LNG competition, oil\u2011linked volatility, and evolving fundamentals are shaping wholesale pricing across UK and European markets. It will also highlight which changes appear short\u2011term in nature and which may have longer\u2011lasting implications for how wholesale markets operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session will feature insights from Fanos Shiamishis, SmartestEnergy\u2019s VP of Trading<\/strong>, offering a view of how market participants are approaching risk, liquidity and decision\u2011making in an environment of ongoing uncertainty, and how pricing and contracting behaviour is evolving as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
