| Near-curve gas prices decreased on Tuesday as maintenance at the Interconnector prevented exports and resulted in a glut in supply. The losses filtered through to the far-curve earlier in the session but bullish oil and carbon markets provided support later on. | Power prices displayed mixed movement yesterday as near-curve contracts followed their weaker gas counterparts, with bearish sentiment provided by oversupply and warm weather. Further out, prices were pushed higher by a rise in coal, oil and carbon markets. |

| The system is slightly long this morning and storage levels have increased by 20% as excess supply was injected yesterday. Despite this, gas prices have increased as supply levels have weakened and carbon has strengthened further. | A rise in coal and carbon continues to offer support to power prices this morning, ignoring a drop in oil. Wind levels are expected to pick up over the coming days which has limited upward movement on the prompt, while temperatures will remain above the seasonal norm. |
