| Contracts along the gas curve ended the session strongly with colder weather forecasts expected to lift demand, while scheduled maintenance at facilities in Norway and the UKCS will reduce imports. | Power prices followed gas in the afternoon and traded higher, with expectations of colder temperatures and tighter gas supply offering support to the near curve. The far-curve was generally stable due to weakening oil and carbon emission markets. |

| Near curve gas prices have eased down slightly this morning as an increase in wind generation has reduced reliance on combined cycle power plants, resulting in lower demand for gas. Carbon markets also continue to weaken and the short term outlook for oil is weak. | Wind levels have more than doubled today compared to yesterday but are set to fall again tomorrow, helping the prompt add to its price. The rest of the curve is stable-to-bearish with no major movement on energy markets this morning. |
