A short system had little impact on the near-curve as the short term supply/ demand outlook is healthy. | Power prices displayed gains yesterday as temperatures were revised down slightly, in addition to a rise in coal and oil prices. Gas and carbon markets were also bullish, while wind levels were expected to improve slightly today, weighing on the prompt. |

Gas prices have increased as a result of the undersupply and a rise in oil prices. | Coal and gas markets have increased again this morning which has offered support to power prices, carbon and feedstock contracts have also opened at a premium.
