| Gas prices increased yesterday, with cooler weather lifting demand levels at a time when Norwegian supplies and LNG send-outs are reduced. The far-curve displayed minor gains on the back of a recovering oil market. | Power prices followed gas and traded higher on Wednesday, with a rise in feedstocks also a factor. Meanwhile, a drop in temperatures was offset by higher wind generation levels and capped upward movement on the prompt. |

| The UK gas system is oversupplied this morning, despite a rise in gas-fired power demand. Overall energy markets are also stable today and this has resulted in small decreases across the gas curve. | Corresponding fuel markets are stable-to-bearish which has weighed on power prices today. Wind levels have dipped but are expected to pick up again tomorrow, while cooler weather is set to continue into next week, providing mixed sentiment. |
