| Gas prices moved down yesterday, following coal and power markets, with a healthier supply/ demand outlook dictating UK markets. Prices found some support in the afternoon which curbed the losses but the overall sentiment remained bearish. | Power prices were stable-to-bullish during Thursday’s session with the exception of the prompt and shorter dated contracts which were pressured down by a mild and windy weather outlook. |

| A colder weather outlook for the start of this week has offered some support but the UK gas system is oversupplied for the first time in weeks, resulting in strong losses across the near-curve. Flows are stable, while LNG send-outs are set to ramp up as disruptive weather comes to an end. | Power contracts have been pressured down by weaker gas, coal and oil markets with the larger losses displayed at the front of the curve. Fundamentals are relatively unchanged with a cold stint expected at the start of next week, lifting demand. |
