| Gas prices moved down on Tuesday following a rise in Norwegian supply which resulted in a long system. LNG nominations at South Hook also ramped up and weaker coal & oil markets helped to pressure down contracts on the far-curve. | Contracts at the front of the power curve shed from their price yesterday as wind levels were forecast to rise today and demand was below the seasonal average. Contracts further out were pressured down by a drop in coal prices, with oil also displaying a decrease. |

| The UK gas system opened 3.3mcm long this morning as demand levels remain below the seasonal norm. Langeled flows have dropped by 8mcm following an unplanned outage at Gullfaks, while one LNG delivery is expected to dock in the UK over the weekend. Movement across the curve is generally bullish with a weaker Pound and a rebound in oil prices supporting the far-curve. | Improved wind generation and lower demand continues to apply downward pressure to the near curve this morning. However, movement further along the curve is bullish as coal and oil markets have recovered. An increase in cloud cover and lower wind levels over the next few days could also support the prompt this afternoon. |
