Gas prices eased down on Friday with a drop in coal prices the main factor behind losses at the back of the curve. Reduced Chinese demand over the last few weeks has boosted coal stocks, resulting in a bearish market. Meanwhile, a rise in renewable levels resulted in slightly lower CCGT demand, weighing on the prompt.

Minor upward movement could be observed across the gas curve yesterday despite bearish coal and oil markets. Instead, prices were dictated by a rise in CCGT demand as a result of weak renewable power, with stronger carbon contracts also a bullish factor.

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.
