| Gas prices displayed mixed changes during Monday’s session with the broader energy complex moving in different directions. Wind levels were forecast to remain low today, increasing reliance on gas-fired power and supporting the prompt. | The UK gas system has fallen short this morning, while oil and coal markets have rebounded higher. This has resulted in gains across the gas curve, with weak renewable power continuing to lift demand. |

| The power curve was largely bearish yesterday, despite a rise in gas and oil. Weak wind generation helped the prompt climb higher, with no major improvement expected over the next couple of days. | Power contracts have been pushed higher by a rise in coal, gas and oil this morning. However, a slight rise in renewable availability tomorrow has weighed on the prompt. |
