Contracts largely ignored increases on coal, oil and carbon markets and movement on the far-curve was minimal. | Like gas, power prices were mostly flat yesterday, with the exception of the front of the curve which found direction from an improved wind generation outlook and a warmer weather forecast for the weekend. Meanwhile, little support was offered to the far-curve by fuel markets. |

| The UK gas system has moved long this morning as demand is slightly down and flows are close to yesterday’s levels. The overall energy complex is stable this morning, with oil markets little changed as supply concerns were eased by comments made by the IEA. | A rise in biomass feedstocks has offered some support to power contracts this morning, with coal and carbon also displaying a small increase. Sentiment is bullish but any gains are minor, however, a healthier renewables forecast has contributed to a strong loss on the prompt. |
