Gas prices climbed higher during yesterday’s session as oil prices displayed a rebound and coal recorded a strong gain. The supply picture was also weaker as maintenance at the Nordstream pipeline restricted flows around Europe. Meanwhile, the Pound weakened against the Euro which provided additional support to the NBP gas market.

Any movement on the gas curve was minor yesterday as the effects of weaker coal were offset by a slight rebound on the oil market. The near-curve was also slightly supported by on-going maintenance at Russia’s Nordstream pipeline which has restricted flows around Europe.

Gas prices climbed higher towards the end of Friday’s session as traders cashed in on their short positions in anticipation of a rebound in oil prices. However, a drop in coal limited the gains on the gas curve. In terms of supply, the system was balanced throughout the session as exports and demand levels increased.
