| Gas prices were generally stable yesterday and it was the only market not to show a clear bullish trend. Temperatures are expected to sit around the seasonal norm next week, if not a little below, limiting any downward movement at the front of the curve, while rising fuel prevented losses further out. | Power prices climbed higher on Monday, driven by a rise in coal, carbon and feedstocks. Temperatures were also forecast to turn colder over the next week and wind levels are expected to drop over the coming days. |

| The system is slightly undersupplied this morning but healthy LNG send-outs should see it move into balance as the session progresses. However, gas prices have been pushed higher by strengthening coal, power and carbon. | Power contracts continue to move higher this morning as fundamentals are unchanged. Coal and carbon have increased further which has led to a rise in gas, with oil the only market not to display gains today. |
