Gas prices increased during Tuesday’s session due to a tightening of supply and an increase in trading. Supply issues in Norway have impacted European systems, while temperatures are expected to dip slightly later in the week, which supported the prompt. |
Power prices were pushed higher by rising gas and carbon yesterday, while coal also remained bullish. Wind levels are expected to pick up next week, limiting upward movement on the near-curve, while temperatures should be around the seasonal average. |

| The system remains short this morning as flows are still down and demand is little changed. This has resulted in some gains across the near-curve, although the prompt has moved down due to a warm weather and healthy renewable outlook for tomorrow. | Power contracts continue to move higher this morning as renewable availability has decreased and commodity markets display a further increase. Coal, carbon and gas have all strengthened, while oil is almost unchanged following a loss yesterday. |
