| Gas prices moved down on Friday with bearish pressure provided by a warmer weather outlook and healthy supply. The UK gas system was 20mcm long for most of the day despite higher residential demand. Fuel markets were also stable-to-bearish, helping to weigh on the far-curve. | Power prices were pressured down by falling gas, coal and carbon markets, with a milder weather forecast for this week also a contributing factor. Coal fell by almost $2/tn, while gas weakened thanks to healthy supply levels. |

| Fundamentals are little changed this morning, with the exception of a rise in oil prices. The system remains oversupplied with a further drop in demand expected this week, resulting in gains at the front of the curve. However, losses further out have been limited by stronger Brent. | Power contracts are bearish once again this morning as gas, coal and carbon markets display further losses, however, oil prices have rebounded, offering some resistance. Temperatures are milder as expected and should remain above the seasonal norm for the rest of the week. |
