| Gas prices decreased on Tuesday with a rise in Norwegian flows and a drop in exports contributing to an oversupplied system. Oil prices also stabilised, while coal and carbon markets eased down, applying bearish pressure to the far-curve. | Movement on the power curve varied yesterday but the gains outnumbered the losses. An expected drop in wind levels helped to support the prompt, while some contracts at the back of the curve followed weaker coal and carbon prices. |

| Gas prices continue to move down this morning despite a drop in supply which has sent the system slightly short. Instead, gas contracts have found direction from softer coal, carbon and power markets. | Power prices have opened flat this morning with little direction provided by fuel markets as oil and coal markets have settled down. Meanwhile, an expected rise in wind generation tomorrow has resulted in a weaker prompt. |
