| Gas prices moved down yesterday morning but the bulls took control in the afternoon and prices ended the day almost unchanged. Overall commodity markets were slightly bearish with carbon, coal, oil and power price trading down. | Power prices displayed losses yesterday, with weaker carbon and coal helping to weigh on prices across the curve. An expected rise in wind generation today helped to pressure down the prompt, with a milder weather outlook weighing on the rest of the near-curve. |

| The UK gas system has opened long this morning on the back of weaker demand, helped by improved wind levels. Milder weather is also expected next week, with commodity markets providing little direction. As a result, near-curve gas prices are slightly weaker and contracts further out are mostly flat. | Power prices are mostly stable this morning, with the majority of movement displayed at the front of the curve as a milder and windier weather outlook has helped towards losses. |
