Oil prices decreased yesterday which transferred to some contracts on the gas market, with a milder weather forecast also a bearish factor. Meanwhile, cold weather resulted in a rise in demand levels which sat 18% above the seasonal norm, while outages at gas facilities in Norway were ongoing, helping to lift the prompt.

Gas prices displayed losses on Friday and erased some of the gains recorded in previous sessions. Contracts were pressured down by decreases on the coal, power and oil markets despite another drop in Pound. Elsewhere, the worker’s strike at the Nyhamna gas plant in Norway was avoided but two unplanned outages reduced imports into the UK and restricted some of the downward movement.

Gas prices moved higher on Thursday with support coming from a potential worker’s strike at the Nyhamna gas plant in Norway which could impact supply levels. LNG send-outs were weaker in the UK, with a colder weather outlook also a bullish factor. Further out, prices were influenced by stronger coal, oil and power contracts, as well as a weaker Pound.

Norwegian supply was reduced further yesterday which supported contracts on the near-curve, while rising oil continued to push far-curve prices higher. Gas demand is also expected to increase across Europe due to colder temperatures which provided further bullish pressure, as did another drop in the Pound.
