Gas prices fell to their lowest point in 2017 so far yesterday morning on the back of the mild weather forecast. However, prices recovered in the afternoon as a long system resulted in an increase in storage injections and a drop in withdrawals. Meanwhile, the Euro strengthened against the Pound, providing further bullish sentiment.

A mild weather outlook for this week helped to restrict bullish movement at the front of the gas curve yesterday, with improved wind levels also helping to reduce gas-fired generation. Meanwhile, an increase in Norwegian flows to Europe contributed to a long gas system, resulting in higher exports via the IUK pipeline to Belgium. Upward movement further along the curve was limited by a bullish oil market, although a stronger Pound restricted any gains.
