| The UK gas system is 35mcm long this morning as UK production has increased and LNG send-outs are healthy. However, gas prices display gains with on-going support provided by further increases on coal and carbon markets. Meanwhile, the prompt was pressured down by a healthy wind outlook for today which will reduce CCGT demand. | Power prices display further gains this morning as temperatures have turned colder and carbon continues to rise. However, following Theresa May’s survival last night, the Pound has strengthened, capping some of the upward movement. |
