| A long system and an expected rise in temperatures next week helped gas contracts shed from their price on Wednesday, although bullish oil and fuel markets limited losses further along the curve. | Power followed gas and traded lower thanks to healthy supply levels which offset the impact of cold weather. The prompt moved higher due to weaker wind generation, while a rise in coal and carbon offered some support further out. |

| The supply/ demand outlook for the remainder of February is forecast to be healthy, while the system remains long due to strong flows and LNG send-outs. Near curve prices have recorded further losses, with the bearish movement filtering through to longer dated contracts. | An expected rise in wind generation tomorrow and the forecast for milder weather has resulted in downward movement on the prompt and near curve at the start of the session. Commodity markets are also stable-to-bearish this morning, resulting in some losses further along the curve. |
