| Gas prices were very bullish at the start of the session, hitting new highs in recent months but lost ground in the afternoon to end the session around Friday’s close. Prices were initially pushed higher by commodity markets, while short term fundamentals were generally stable. | Power prices continued to climb higher on Monday morning, helped by a strong rise in carbon in the morning. However, prices followed gas in the afternoon and traded down as carbon retraced its gains. |

| The UK gas system is slightly oversupplied this morning and the prompt is unchanged as a result as demand for gas-fired power remains high. Coal and carbon markets are flat, while coal has dipped slightly, resulting in some losses across the gas-curve. | Day-Ahead power has decreased this morning despite low renewable output, as cooler weather is expected to weigh on demand. The broader energy market is still slightly bullish but prices are generally stable at the start of the session. |
