A rise in temperature forecasts for the remainder of October effected European gas prices on Tuesday.

Gas prices on the near-curve moved higher ahead of scheduled maintenance work in Europe which will reduce flows into the UK. French nuclear supply also remains a factor as safety checks will limit available capacity, resulting in increased gas-fired generation. A rise in LNG prices also contributed to the gains, while there was little change on oil and coal markets.

The ongoing outage at the Corrib gas field in Ireland continued to increase UK exports, providing support to the near-curve despite an oversupplied system.
