| Gas prices have decreased once again this morning, with next week’s milder weather forecast the main market driver. Cold temperatures have lifted demand levels to well above the seasonal norm but healthy flows have kept the system oversupplied. The wider commodity market has also decreased, adding to the bearish sentiment. | The prompt is down again as wind levels are expected to maintain their current levels over the weekend, while solar is also healthy for this time of year. Mild weather, a comfortable gas system and weaker fuel markets have also weighed on the power curve. |
