| Gas prices were relatively stable during Tuesday’s session, ignoring strong gains on coal, oil and carbon markets. Low summer demand helped to cap any upward movement, with an expected rise in renewable power helping to weigh on the prompt. | Power prices traded marginally higher yesterday, taking direction from a rebound in carbon. A rise in coal and oil also offered support, while the Day-Ahead contract eased down on the back of an improved wind generation forecast for today. |

| The system has opened slightly oversupplied this morning as an uptick in wind levels has reduced gas-fired power demand. However, LNG flows into the UK are down, offering support to the front of the curve. | Small losses can be seen across the power curve this morning as feedstocks have opened lower, with the exception of gas. The prompt continues to decrease thanks to an improvement in wind availability, while cooler weather has reduced demand. |
