| An oversupplied system and a healthy LNG outlook resulted in losses across the near gas curve during Wednesday’s session. Further out, fuel markets offered support, with oil markets increasing for the third session in a row. | A colder weather outlook helped some power contracts to close higher on the near curve yesterday, although stable wind generation kept a lid on the prompt. Meanwhile, a bullish oil market continued to offer support further out, with coal and carbon also trading higher. |

| Gas prices have opened higher this morning as cold weather is expected to return to the UK next week, with temperatures potentially dropping to 5/6°C below average, resulting in the highest demand levels so far this winter. | Power prices have moved in the opposite direction to gas and erased some of yesterday’s gains at the start of this session. However, wind levels are set to decrease tomorrow, helping the prompt add to its price. |
