| Gas prices weakened on Monday with an expected rise in temperatures, healthy supply and a stronger wind generation forecast weighing on the front of the curve. Meanwhile, fuel markets offered little support and movement at the back of the curve was also bearish. | Power prices followed their gas counterparts and moved down yesterday, with additional bearish pressure provided by a fall in carbon and a stronger Pound. Far-curve prices also closed at a discount with direction coming from further decreases on the coal market. |

| The UK gas system has opened long this morning as supply levels remain strong, resulting in losses on the near-curve. However, contracts at the back of the curve have added to their price thanks to a rise in carbon, oil and power. | Carbon has rebounded this morning and oil continues to move higher resulting in gains on the power curve. Coal and some gas contracts are also up, although the Pound has strengthened further, limiting some of the upward movement. |
