Residential demand in the UK is expected to rise this week due to colder weather, offering support to the front of the curve yesterday. LNG supply also remained tight and bullish movement on the coal market continued to help far-curve contracts move higher.

The gas system was long yesterday which helped to restrict upward movement at the front of the curve. Strong wind levels were also expected to reduce gas-fired power generation today, although colder weather is set to lift residential demand. The rest of the curve was pushed higher by rising fuel, with carbon and emissions contracts both increasing in price.

Strengthening fuel markets continued to support gas prices yesterday but the gains were not as significant as those recorded on Tuesday. Rising Brent and EUA contracts were the main factor behind the bullish movement, although planned maintenance in Norway and a weak LNG outlook also contributed.
