| Gas prices decreased during yesterday’s session despite a supply shortfall caused by Norwegian maintenance and a drop in LNG send-outs. However, the amount of scheduled LNG deliveries expected to arrive in the UK was increased, resulting in bearish movement at the front of the curve. | Power contracts traded down on Tuesday, with direction coming from weaker gas, coal and feedstocks, while oil and carbon also displayed minor losses. In terms of fundamentals, temperatures are expected to turn warmer next week which will offset weak renewable availability. |

Meanwhile, a drop in coal, carbon and power markets has resulted in losses on the far-curve, while oil prices are stable. | Commodity markets remain bearish this morning, with coal, oil and carbon displaying additional losses.
