| Bearish movement could be observed across the gas curve on Wednesday, with comfortable supply levels and a milder weather outlook weighing on prices at the front of the curve. Meanwhile, the Pound strengthened against the Euro, helping towards downward movement at the back of the curve. | Like gas, power prices inched down thanks to comfortable wind generation and an expected drop in heating demand for the rest of the month. A stronger Pound also had an impact on the far-curve, as did a drop in coal prices, while the oil market was stable. |

| Warmer weather is expected across the UK and Europe over the coming weeks which will result in reduced LDZ demand; contributing to further price drops at the front of the curve this morning. A drop in wind generation has led to a 10mcm rise in CCGT demand, while supply has been impacted by an outage in Norway, although this is expected to be resolved by tomorrow. | Wind levels are expected to rise tomorrow which has helped the prompt record a strong loss, with the expected rise in temperatures weighing on the rest of the near curve. Movement further along the curve is minimal with coal recording a small loss and oil prices moving slightly higher. |
