| Langeled and UKCS flows are at capacity this week, demand levels are very low and LNG send outs increased slightly, resulting in bearish movement on the prompt and across the near curve yesterday. | Strong renewable generation and mild temperatures pressured down contracts at the front of the curve on Tuesday, while supportive oil and carbon markets offered support to the far curve. |

| Movement along the gas curve is similar to yesterday with losses at the front of the curve and upward movement further out. Comfortable supply and low demand has pressured down prompt prices, while bullish commodities dictate longer dated contracts. | Wind levels remain strong and the gas system is well-supplied due to reduced demand which has resulted in decreases across the front of the power curve this morning. Meanwhile, the back of the curve continues to follow rising carbon markets, although coal trades lower. |
