| Gas prices moved higher yesterday afternoon, erasing some of the morning’s losses which were a result of an improved supply picture. Bullish pressure was provided later in the session as the impact of the Heimdal’s outage was revised higher and the Euro also strengthened against the Pound. | A healthier wind outlook helped to weigh on the prompt yesterday but the rest of the curve moved higher later in the session with direction coming from stronger gas. Oil and coal prices stabilised and did little to impact contracts on the far-curve. |

| Gas prices are relatively unchanged from yesterday’s close despite improved supply. The system has opened 11mcm long as Langeled flows have increased to 63mcm, however, South Hook nominations are slightly down with no LNG deliveries expected in the next two weeks. Meanwhile, oil prices have stabilised and have provided little support to far-curve contracts. | Movement on the power curve is minimal compared to the end of yesterday’s session. Wind generation is around the seasonal norm today but is expected to drop off over the weekend, while solar power will remain average, restricting downward movement. |
