| Gas fundamentals remain healthy this morning as demand levels are expected to fall further over the weekend, while supply levels will remain comfortable; this has helped contracts decrease across the curve. Meanwhile, Brent has posted a small loss which has created further bearish sentiment on the far-curve. | The majority of contracts on the power curve have displayed a loss this morning with direction coming from a weaker gas market and a decrease in oil and coal prices. Milder weather is expected to return to the UK before the weekend which will weigh on consumption, also contributing to the downward trend. |
