Gas prices displayed mixed movement yesterday as cold weather lifted demand and Norwegian supply was limited, resulting in a short system. Reduced wind generation contributed to an increase in CCGT demand which added to the undersupply. However, the outlook for later in the week is healthy and this helped to restrict the gains, while weaker coal and oil weighed on the far-curve.

Improved Norwegian supply helped gas contracts move down yesterday afternoon, erasing some of the morning’s gains. Strong wind generation reduced CCGT demand but colder temperatures lifted residential consumption. Further out, bearish movement was limited by a jump in oil prices and stronger coal.
