| Gas prices initially opened higher yesterday as outages in the North Sea continued to impact the UK system. However, prices moved down as the session progressed following decreases on coal and oil markets. Norwegian flows also improved slightly and an outage at a Dutch storage site restricted exports to Europe, helping to weigh on contracts. | Power contracts mimicked their gas counterparts on Monday by displaying upward movement in the morning, then recording losses in the afternoon due to weaker coal and oil. However, losses on the prompt were limited as renewable generation was set to remain low today. |
