| The gas system is oversupplied this morning thanks to a rise in Norwegian & Dutch flows into the UK. Recent forecasts also point towards milder and windier weather over the 15-day outlook which has resulted in losses along the near-curve. Meanwhile, commodity markets have moved in different direction and far-curve prices are stable. | Power prices are slightly bearish this morning with mixed sentiment provided by fuel markets. A rise in wind levels and temperatures is expected over the coming days which has helped the prompt record a strong loss. |
