| Gas prices moved down on Wednesday, following global energy markets, with coal, oil and carbon all recording losses. A few near-curve prices were the exception to the bearish trend, with support provided by higher demand. | Power prices followed their gas counterparts with some upward movement at the front of the curve and losses further out. The prompt found support from an expected drop in renewable generation, while the far-curve was pushed down by weaker coal and carbon. |

| The UK gas system is 10mcm short this morning as demand levels have increased due to colder temperatures, while supply levels are unchanged. As a result, movement along the curve is mostly stable as commodity markets continue to move down. | Power prices display minor gains at the front of the curve due to weaker renewable availability and colder temperatures. However, the rest of the curve is bearish as global energy markets remain weak. |
