| Gas prices displayed a rebound during Wednesday’s session as the UK gas system fell short due to a drop in Norwegian supply. However, prices further along the curve were more resilient thanks to weaker coal and oil contracts. | Power prices increased yesterday, with direction coming from the gas market. The prompt was the exception to the bullish trend as renewables were expected to improve today, while a drop in coal and oil offered resistance on the far-curve. |

| The UK gas system is oversupplied this morning as exports via the IUK pipeline have halted, creating excess supply despite weaker Norwegian flows. This has helped toward losses on the near-curve, while fuel markets are also trading down, limiting upward movement further out. | European energy markets are weaker across the board this morning and power is no exception. Temperatures are expected to remain around current levels for the coming days, with improved wind generation expected towards the end of next week. |
