Gas prices decreased on Friday ahead of a milder weather outlook for this week.

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.
