| The system was oversupplied yesterday, resulting in losses across the near curve, with a healthy supply/ demand outlook for the remainder of the month adding to the bearish pressure. | Healthy wind generation, mild weather and comfortable gas supply pressured down the prompt and the rest of the near curve. Further out, rising coal, oil and carbon provided upward support. |

| The UK gas system has fallen 16.5mcm short this morning but a mild weather outlook has prevented upward movement on the near curve. Healthy renewable levels will also weigh on gas demand over the next week or so, while rising commodities have helped to lift the far curve slightly. | Power prices have weakened at the front of the curve thanks to above average temperatures for this time of year and an improved wind generation outlook. Meanwhile, fuel markets continue to increase, contributing to some gains further along the curve. |
