| Gas prices have opened lower this morning as reports suggest an agreement has been reached in Norway regarding oil worker’s wages, signalling an end to strike action. The system has also opened 6.7mcm long and oil markets have eased down, weighing on contracts across the curve. | Power markets have followed gas and opened lower this morning, although a colder weather outlook continues to limit losses on the near curve. An improvement in wind levels tomorrow has helped to pressure down the prompt, while fuel markets fail to offer support to far curve prices. |
