| Gas prices eased down yesterday as tightness on the system eased following a rise in LNG send-outs and an uptick in Norwegian flows. Meanwhile, the prompt displayed another gain as demand for gas-fired power was expected to remain high today. | Day-Ahead power recorded a significant gain yesterday due to very weak wind levels, while the rest of the curve was generally bearish due to improved gas supply and a milder weather outlook. |

| Gas prices have followed overall commodity markets and trade higher this morning, with oil showing signs of recovery once again. However, the system still remains tight due to scarce wind generation. | Power prices display an increase this morning, with the exception of the prompt which has erased yesterday’s gains due to an expected rise in wind generation over the coming days. The rest of the curve follows gas and rising commodity markets. |
