| Gas prices were up & down during Wednesday’s session but ended the day at a discount with Brexit developments weighing on UK markets. Meanwhile, coal and oil markets offered little direction due to mixed changes. | Power prices increased yesterday with direction provided by a bullish carbon market, ignoring weaker feedstocks and coal. Wind levels were also expected to drop today which provided support to the prompt, with gas failing to offer any real direction to the near-curve. |

| The UK gas system has opened balanced this morning, while oil and carbon markets have posted losses, resulting in bearish movement along the gas curve. Weaker wind levels have resulted in a rise in gas-fired power, limiting excess supply despite healthy Norwegian flows. | The Pound has weakened which has resulted in a drop in pollution credit prices, in turn, this has led to an upward correction in power prices. Additional bearish pressure has been provided by minor losses on coal, gas and oil markets. |
