| The UK gas system remains oversupplied this morning despite a drop in flows from Norway. Despite the oversupply, prices have rebounded at the front of the curve due to the colder weather outlook, while a drop in coal and oil has weighed on the far-curve. | Near-curve power prices have rebounded along with gas, although bearish coal and carbon has limited any gains. Some contracts further along the curve display minor losses, while a colder weather forecast has offered additional support to the front of the curve. |
