| Gas prices decreased throughout Monday’s session as a result of stronger imports from Norway and healthy UKCS production, with a rise in demand levels having little impact. An increase in Russian imports resulted in comfortable systems across Europe, adding to the bearish sentiment, although oil prices remained supportive. | Power contracts moved down yesterday, following falling gas and coal markets, with improved renewable generation also a factor. A rise in consumption levels did little to support the near-curve, while oil prices were stable. |

| Residential demand has risen further this morning but healthy supply levels continue to weigh on near-curve gas contracts. A technical rebound cannot be ruled out but the outlook remains bearish despite further gains on the oil market. | The power curve displays further losses this morning with direction coming from a weaker gas market. A rise in wind and solar generation has provided additional bearish pressure at the front of the curve, while weaker coal prices have helped to weigh on far-curve contracts. |
