| Gas prices moved down on Tuesday with most decreases thought to be technical, with a lot of contracts close to their resistance levels. Supply levels also improved later in the day as unplanned outages in Norway were resolved, balancing the system. | Power prices followed gas yesterday and displayed losses as supply improved and warmer weather is expected to reduce demand levels. Contracts across the curve eased down, with a drop in coal prices also a factor. |

| The system remains balanced this morning with a number of LNG deliveries also expected next week following a two-week dry spell. This has helped to pressure down near-curve gas prices, while contracts further out are little changed due to coal and oil markets moving in opposite directions. | A rise in temperatures, a healthier gas supply outlook and stable-to-bearish coal has resulted in further decreases along the power curve this morning. Carbon also displays a slight loss, while oil has increased capping some downward movement further along the curve. |
