Risk management for nearer term periods (Dec-24 to Q1 2025) has been paramount in our decision making throughout November due to the large rises seen over the past month. Prices from Q2 2025 onwards are less attractive at present, but we are still recommending that most customers avoid full risk exposure going into the New Year, given several factors that could add to market volatility, such as Trump’s inauguration and increasing Chinese demand.
