| Gas prices decreased during Wednesday’s session, particularly on the near-curve as warmer weather and improved renewable power generation should reduce demand. Further out, the losses were less significant due to a rise in oil and carbon. | Power prices followed their gas counterparts and moved down yesterday, with a drop in feedstocks also a factor. Stronger oil and carbon offered some resistance, while the front of the curve was pressured down by a warmer and windier weather outlook. |

| The system is oversupplied this morning but gas prices have inched higher due to a supportive oil market. Coal has also increased, along with carbon during a bullish start to the session. | Power prices have followed gas again this morning and display gains, with bullish pressure provided by higher carbon, feedstocks and equities. However, an improved supply/ demand outlook has helped the prompt open at a discount. |
