Fundamentals are reversing this morning, with higher UK gas demand and lower Norwegian supply tightening the system. Weaker oil prices could limit any gains seen on the far-curve as the US Dollar strengthened. | The front of the power curve saw some rises this morning, possibly due to increased power generation and a short Gas system, limiting supply.
