| Near-curve gas prices displayed gains on Tuesday morning on the back of an undersupplied system. However, prices eased down as the session progressed as the supply picture remained comfortable with a number of LNG deliveries expected before the end of the month. | Power contracts found support from European markets yesterday, with a slight rise in demand and weak renewables helping the prompt climb higher. Movement at the back of the curve was subdued as carbon and coal moved down, while gas and oil increased, almost cancelling each other out. |

| The UK gas system has opened balanced this morning and short term weather forecasts have been revised higher, with renewables also expected to improve next week. As a result, gas prices have decreased this morning, with further bearish pressure provided by a drop in carbon and power. | Prompt power prices have been pressured down by a milder weather forecast and an expected rise in renewables.
