| Near-curve gas prices dipped yesterday thanks to an oversupplied system and a warm weather outlook; additional LNG cargoes are also expected to dock in the UK. Meanwhile, coal and carbon markets moved down and oil stabilised, weighing on the far-curve. | Power prices followed gas and moved down with falling biomass feedstocks and weaker carbon a factor. Temperatures were revised higher for the coming weeks, while an expected rise in solar power should offset a drop in wind levels |

| Gas prices remain bearish this morning despite a slightly short system, with downward pressure provided by weaker fuel markets. However, geopolitical events could support the market in the near future, such as the US/ China trade dispute and talks of a possible Brexit delay. | Power prices are slightly bearish again as feedstocks continue to decrease and the overall energy complex remains rather weak. A rebound, or at least some bullish resistance cannot be ruled out as traders could cash in on profits ahead of the weekend. |
