| Sentiment was little changed yesterday, although a rise on oil markets offered support in the morning. The rest of the session was driven by a mild and windier weather outlook and an expected rise in LNG send-outs next month. | The prompt shed from its price on Wednesday as wind levels were expected to pick up today due to Storm Christoph. The rest of the curve displayed minimal movement in either direction, caught between weaker demand and a rise in oil. |

| Gas prices have opened lower this morning despite the system falling short. Temperatures have dropped but are expected to increase again over the weekend, while wind levels should remain healthy, contributing to the losses. | Power contracts display losses across the curve this morning due to lower demand and improved renewable generation. However, a slight rise in coal and carbon has limited some of the losses further along the curve. |
