| Difficulty unloading cargo in stormy weather at UK import terminals meant a further downward adjustment in LNG send outs, keeping spot prices in strong territory. Some contracts were overbought and gas fundamentals were largely bearish across Europe, meaning curve prices corrected downwards. | On the spot power prices rose strongly yesterday on the back of fading temperatures and wind generation. Near curve power had small gains with the rise of EUA prices, whereas further out on the curve, prices were mostly steady. |

| The UK gas system remains short this morning due to weak LNG send outs, which will continue to support prompt contracts. Weather forecasts remain fairly mild, which should keep short-term deliveries to a minimum. Both oil and EUA prices are trading higher today which could see bullish activity towards the curve. | Early trading sees spot and curve power prices strengthening with support from higher gas, coal and oil prices. Strong wind and revised weather forecasts should continue to weigh bearish pressure on the prompt contracts. |
