| Gas prices were largely bullish on Tuesday, taking direction from a rebound in oil, a drop in LNG send-outs and a colder weather outlook. A lack of progress in terms of Brexit negotiations also impacted UK markets and the value of the Pound. | Colder temperatures limited downward movement at the front of the power curve yesterday, although the prompt recorded a small loss as similar renewable generation levels were forecast for today. Further out, contracts were pushed higher by a rise in gas & oil. |

| The prompt and near curve gas contracts have opened higher as temperatures are expected to remain 3mcm below the seasonal norm today, while weaker wind generation levels tomorrow will lift demand. | Contracts along the power curve display further gains this morning, mirroring their gas counterparts. Coal has also opened higher, while oil remains supportive. Wind generation levels are set to fall tomorrow, while temperatures will remain cold, resulting in a strong gain on the prompt. |
