| The UK gas system has opened 29mcm long this morning thanks to mild weather and healthy flows. Strong supply levels have seen the prompt shed from its price, with the losses filtering through to the rest of the near curve. Meanwhile, the far curve follows falling commodities. | Wind levels are expected to drop considerably over the coming days and temperatures will turn colder, resulting in a strong gain on the prompt this morning. A comfortable gas system has restricted upward movement further along the curve, while weaker coal and oil weigh on longer dated contracts. |
