Gas prices moved higher during Friday’s afternoon session with direction coming from the oil market, with the latest OPEC meeting the main market driver. Despite the afternoon gains, the overall context at the front of the curve was bearish with healthy wind levels reducing CCGT demand and Norwegian flows increasing following the end of planned outages.

Gas prices moved down on Wednesday as coal contracts weakened and improved renewable power reduced reliance on gas-fired generation. Outages continued to restrict Norwegian flows into the UK but the system remained oversupplied due to low demand and a halt in exports.

Following a bullish start, gas prices eased down as the session progressed with a long system and weakening fuel markets weighing on the curve.

Meanwhile, the Pound strengthened against the Euro, further weighing on some contracts.
