| Gas prices were little changed after yesterdays trading, front month contracts closed down while longer date contracts were mostly unchanged. A late oil rally lifted US gas boosting European contracts thereafter. | Power prices slumped in all markets and across almost all contracts. Falling coal and carbon coupled with directionless gas in the UK and on the continent pressured prices. Gains in oil and US equities could not lift sentiment to provide support. |

| This morning the system is balanced. Coal, carbon and power are up along with gas while European equities lose gains from yesterday. | This morning, the broader energy complex is playing catch up to the gains in oil from yesterday. Coal gas and oil are all in positive territory and power contracts in the UK, Germany and the Nordics are following higher. |
