| Gas prices eased down yesterday as the system remained long and three LNG cargoes were scheduled to dock in the UK today. Meanwhile, a slight rebound on oil markets provided some upward pressure towards the back of the curve. | A slight rise in temperatures and wind levels was forecast for today, helping to weigh on Day-Ahead power yesterday, although temperatures are expected to remain below the seasonal norm over the next two weeks. |

| The gas curve is rather flat this morning, although a high demand outlook has helped to lift some prices on the spot, including the prompt. Far-curve contracts are generally stable as there have been no major moves on commodity markets. | A weaker wind outlook and a cooler weather forecast has contributed to gains on the prompt and the rest of the near curve this morning. Meanwhile, coal and carbon markets have retraced some of yesterday’s upward movement. |
