| Demand is down on the back of milder weather which has resulted in an oversupplied gas system; however, this has failed to weigh on prices. Instead, contracts across the curve display minor gains due to a weak renewable power outlook and rising oil markets. | Wind and solar levels are expected to remain low this week, weighing on the near curve, although a slight increase tomorrow, combined with milder weather has helped to weigh on the prompt. Further out, contracts have been pushed higher by a rise in coal and oil. |
