| Improved imports, a drop in demand and high LNG send-outs resulted in a long UK gas system yesterday which helped to pressure down near curve prices. Meanwhile, longer dated contracts followed falling oil markets. | A positive outlook for short-term gas supply helped to pressure down power prices during Tuesday’s session, with weaker fuel markets also a factor. The prompt was one of the few contracts to climb higher due to a reduced wind generation forecast for today and the remainder of the week. |

| Strong LNG supply, an oversupplied system and weakening across commodity markets has helped to weigh on gas contracts across the curve this morning. However, some support has been offered by further outages at Norwegian facilities, potentially impacting imports to the UK. | Power prices are largely bearish this morning, following weaker gas, coal and oil markets. Renewable levels are down as expected, with similar levels forecast for tomorrow, although milder weather has helped towards a small loss on the prompt. |
