| Gas prices were stable-to-bearish during yesterday’s session with fuel markets weakening further and the system close to balance. A drop in wind levels lifted CCGT demand which reduced available supply but a milder weather forecast limited the impact, with a busy LNG outlook also providing resistance. | Movement along the power curve was minimal on Tuesday as short term fundamentals were little changed. The far-curve ignored a significant drop in coal as the carbon market turned bullish. |

| Gas prices display little movement this morning, with some near-curve contacts recording minimal losses. Carbon and coal markets have rebounded slightly but oil continues to move down, providing mixed direction. | Day-ahead power has moved down this morning thanks to a rise in wind generation and the expectation of milder weather. However, the majority of contracts on the rest of the curve have moved slightly higher due to a rise in coal and carbon. |
