| Improved wind levels reduced reliance of gas-fired power yesterday, while a flurry of LNG deliveries are also expected to dock in the UK over the next ten days, weighing on near curve gas prices. Meanwhile, movement at the back of the curve was slightly bullish due to rising oil markets. | A healthier outlook for gas and improved wind generation resulted in losses across the near power curve on Tuesday. However, a rebound on commodity markets offered support further out. |

| Gas prices trade lower this morning on the back of an expected upturn in temperatures over the next few days and a busy LNG schedule for this month. Demand has dropped below the seasonal average and the system is oversupplied, with healthy wind generation also reducing CCGT demand. | Power prices follow bullish commodity markets this morning, with oil markets climbing for a third consecutive day. Coal and carbon contracts also continue to strengthen, although an improved supply/ demand outlook has offered some resistance at the front of the curve. |
