| Movement along the gas curve was subdued on Tuesday with an oversupplied system limiting any gains. Demand was down and supply was very healthy, although an expected rise in CCGT demand today offered support to the prompt. | A weak renewable power outlook for today helped the prompt record a strong gain yesterday, while upward movement on the rest of the near curve was restricted by a comfortable gas system. Further out, contracts were generally stable with minimal direction offered by commodities. |

| Gas prices display marginal gains this morning despite an oversupplied system and strong LNG send-outs. Demand has dropped by around 15mcm due to a rise in temperatures, with milder weather expected throughout December. However, prices have found support from scheduled maintenance at 4 facilities in Norway tomorrow, combined with rising fuel markets. | Wind levels continue to fluctuate this week with improved generation expected tomorrow, which has pressured down the prompt with the help of mild weather. Further out, a rise in coal, oil and carbon has restricted the downward movement and losses are insignificant. |
