| Gas prices increased on Monday following strong growth on the oil market and a rebound in coal prices. Cold temperatures continued to lift demand levels in the UK which resulted in a short system in the afternoon, requiring an increase in storage withdrawals. | The power curve found support from rising gas, coal and oil markets yesterday with the majority of contracts adding to their price. The prompt was one of the few exceptions to the bullish trend and was pressured down by an improved wind forecast for today. |

| Temperatures are set to remain below average until early next week at least, providing support to the near-curve this morning. However, the system has opened long due to healthy Norwegian supply, restricting the bullish impact. Further out, a stronger oil market continues to push contracts higher. | Gains can be observed across the power curve this morning as colder temperatures and bullish fuel markets continue to dictate prices. Brent sharply increased yesterday following news from Saudi Arabia, while the return of a number of French nuclear units have been delayed, providing additional upward pressure. |
