| Gas prices weakened yesterday morning but any losses were limited by Norwegian maintenance and an unplanned outage. Supply into the UK was limited as a result but a healthier LNG outlook provided bearish pressure. Meanwhile, commodity markets moved down which helped to weigh on the far curve. | Despite a weak opening, power prices found support from a rise in coal and carbon in the afternoon and closed at a premium. However, an expected rise in wind levels today helped to pressure down the prompt. |

| Gas contracts have climbed higher this morning following a rise in coal and carbon; carbon found support from the expectancy of another extension to the Brexit deadline. In terms of supply, the system is 10mcm long thanks to healthy LNG send-outs and stronger wind generation which has reduced gas-fired power demand. | Power prices continue to take direction from stronger carbon, while wind levels are also expected to drop tomorrow, supporting the prompt. Coal also displays another increase, while weaker oil has had little impact on the curve. |
