| Gas prices were slightly supportive yesterday, with bullish pressure coming from a rebound on commodity markets. However, any upward movement at the front of the curve was limited by healthy supply and a drop in demand. | Power prices inched higher on Tuesday, following a rise in feedstocks, gas, coal and carbon. Temperatures fell back towards the seasonal norm but should turn milder next week, while wind levels were forecast to plummet today, helping the prompt record a strong gain. |

| Most gas prices have eased down this morning, shaving off some of yesterday’s gains. Demand levels have increased strongly due to a significant drop in wind generation, while temperatures have also turned slightly colder, helping to push the prompt higher. | Power prices have followed gas and display minor decreases this morning, with a decrease in coal and carbon also a contributing factor. Wind levels have dropped as expected and are set to remain low tomorrow, ensuring the Day-Ahead contract strengthened once again. |
