| Gas prices displayed mixed changes yesterday, with prompt and summer contracts moving down and longer dated contracts recording small gains. The oil market was torn between OPEC production cuts and a rise in US storage levels. | The near curve was pressured down by weak demand and an expected rise in temperatures, while longer dated contracts found support from a rise in carbon. |

| The UK gas system is oversupplied this morning with a surge in wind levels reducing gas-fired power demand. Coal and Oil markets have also eased down, resulting in losses on most gas contracts at the start of the session. | Wind levels have increased significantly today, reducing reliance on gas-fired power, however, these levels are expected to fall considerably as we head into the weekend. Today’s strong levels of renewable power and weakening coal & carbon markets have contributed to losses along the power curve this morning. |
