| Gas prices displayed losses yesterday following an improvement in Norwegian flows, as the outage at Kollsnes was resolved. Milder temperatures are also expected in the coming days with further bearish pressure provided by losses on the coal and oil markets. | Demand levels are expected to drop next week which helped power contracts shed from their price yesterday. The far-curve was also pressured down by weaker coal and oil, although a slight drop in wind levels restricted downward movement on the prompt. |

| Temperatures have been revised higher once again this morning, helping to restrict upward movement on the prompt. However, a drop in Langeled flows has tightened the UK gas system, resulting in gains across the near-curve. Losses further out have been limited by technical support but weak coal continues to weigh on contracts. | Power contracts display small increases this morning, following a similar trend to gas. A warmer weather outlook has capped the gains on the near-curve, while oil prices have failed to offer much support further out. |
