Above average temperatures are expected later in the week which will weigh on demand levels, contributing to losses on the near-curve yesterday. The system was also long as demand decreased and pipeline supply improved. Movement further along the curve was generally stable, with support provided by rising coal and oil markets.

Gas prices decreased on Friday ahead of a milder weather outlook for this week. Most contracts erased some of the gains caused by unseasonably high demand and supply tightness, with the National Grid withdrawing its gas deficit warning. Contracts further along the curve, stabilised in the afternoon as a rebound in coal offset the effects of weaker Brent.

Prompt gas prices moved higher on Thursday, with Day-Ahead in particular recording a huge increase on the back of a warning issued by the national grid which requested additional flows from Europe in order to meet demand. Freezing temperatures offered support to the rest of the near-curve but contracts further out moved down, taking direction from weaker coal and oil markets.
