Day-Ahead gas climbed higher yesterday as an expected drop in wind levels today will result in an increase in gas-fired power generation. The gains filtered through to the rest of the near-curve as the system moved closer to balance due to weaker Norwegian flows and low LNG send-outs. Meanwhile, Far-curve prices moved down as oil prices displayed strong losses and coal was stable.

Strong wind generation and mild weather reduced gas demand yesterday, with a similar forecast for the next few days, helping to weigh on near-curve contracts. Russian imports into Europe also improved, while LNG supply was comfortable. Meanwhile, oil prices increased in the afternoon and the coal market stabilised, although upward movement on the gas curve was minimal.

Gas contracts were pushed higher by a rise in coal prices yesterday afternoon, with gas-fired power generation looking a more favourable source over the summer months, while nuclear availability remains low. The UK gas system was long, which led to losses at the start of the session, with further bearish resistance provided by a stronger Pound and a falling oil market.
