| Gas prices have opened lower this morning due to continued mild weather in the UK and an increase in LNG send-outs. The UK gas system is 8mcm long at the start of the session, with demand levels sitting 57mcm below the seasonal norm. An improved and warmer situation in the US has also weighed on global markets. | Day-Ahead power has opened higher this morning due to a significant drop in wind generation, resulting in a sharp rise in gas-fired power demand. However, the rest of the curve has opened lower, following bearish gas and weaker commodities. |
