| An upward revision in temperatures for the 14-day weather forecast, helped near curve gas prices shed from their price yesterday, while movement further out was stable-to-bearish. | Power contracts followed gas once again and traded down due to expectations of lower demand, helped by mild weather and improved renewable generation. Coal also eased down, while oil markets showed little movement. |

| Weather models have been revised again, with mild weather expected over the coming weeks, while an uptick in wind generation will also reduce CCGT demand. This weaker demand outlook has helped to pressure down the near curve but the system remains under pressure at the time of writing. | A rise in temperatures and wind levels is expected next week which has resulted in a strong loss on the prompt, with the downward movement filtering through to the rest of the near curve. Meanwhile, commodity markets are generally stable and have provided little support to the rest of the curve. |
