| Gas prices display further gains this morning, with Brent rising to around $66.6/b, offering support to wider commodity markets. On the supply side, the system remains balanced despite high demand, with warmer temperatures expected, as well as a busy LNG schedule improving the situation further. | Increases on the oil market have transferred across to all energy markets, including power, with most contracts dictated by stronger carbon.
