Stronger oil prices supported the gas curve yesterday, with restricted Norwegian flows also contributing to gains on the near-curve. The outage at Kollsnes was extended until the 1st of October and imports to the UK will be limited via the Langeled pipeline. The system was short throughout the session on the back of this drop in supply, with weaker LNG send outs also playing a part.

Falling oil prices helped gas contracts decrease on Friday afternoon, erasing the gains recorded at the start of the session. The outage at Kollsnes continued to restrict supply levels in the UK, contributing to bullish movement in the morning. On the far-curve, prices were dictated by rising coal prices and a stronger Euro before the drop in Brent.
