Deutsche Bank says gas hedges delay impact of higher wholesale prices on businesses
  • Elevated wholesale gas prices will feed into businesses’ costs as fixed-price contracts renew and cheaper hedged purchases are replaced.
  • Procurement costs across hedging strategies could converge the longer gas prices remain at current levels.
  • Spot-market buyers face price increases first but benefit sooner from declines.
  • Germany’s purchases of Long-Term-Options (LTOs) could reduce supply risks and extreme price spikes, though stockpiling incentives could lift near-term demand.
  • Businesses should regularly assess ways to reduce technical dependence on energy sources vulnerable to price swings.
