| Gas prices moved down on Friday, although the losses were minimal despite an undersupplied system. Storage injections ramped up on the back of the undersupply, while weaker coal, oil and power helped to weigh on the far-curve. | Power prices eased down by the end of last week, following their gas counterparts and weaker carbon. However, an expected drop in temperatures and wind levels for the start of this week offered support to the prompt. |

| The system remains short this morning despite improved supply levels, as demand has increased due to colder temperatures. Gas prices have climbed higher as a result, helped by a rebound on fuel markets. | Near-curve power prices trade higher this morning, finding support from an increase in gas, coal and feedstocks, while oil and carbon are generally stable. Temperatures and wind levels have also dropped as expected, providing additional support. |
