Gas contracts added to their price on Monday following a sharp rise in coal prices, in addition to a bullish oil market. Sanctions on Iran and a drop in Saudi oil production helped to lift oil prices, while coal was supported by Chinese demand. The short term supply/ demand outlook was little changed from last week and gas prices instead found direction from fuel markets.
