Supply fundamentals were also comfortable, further weighing on the curve. | Power followed gas yesterday as global energy markets were dictated by the crash in oil prices. Strong wind and solar generation also reduced reliance on gas, contributing to losses on the prompt and the rest of the near curve. |

| The gas curve continues to weaken as oil markets display further losses. Demand is also down due to warmer weather and healthy renewables, while storage levels remain high – however, the system has opened 6mcm short due to a rise in exports. | The Day-Ahead contract has rallied higher this morning as wind levels are expected to drop tomorrow. Meanwhile, the rest of the curve has decreased as commodities continue to suffer from the current pandemic. |
