| Gas prices increased across the curve during Tuesday’s session, with the front of the curve pushed higher by a stronger demand outlook. Further out, contracts found support from a rise in coal, carbon, power and equities, with only the oil market trading lower. | Power prices recorded strong gains yesterday, pushed higher by bullish coal, gas, feedstocks and carbon credit prices. A lower wind generation forecast and an expected rise in demand also helped the prompt move higher. |

| The system remains balanced this morning but spot prices have climbed higher as storage capacity is limited, raising concerns about what will happen with excess supply. Any movement is minor further along the curve as carbon and power prices have eased down. | Power prices have corrected down as carbon and oil have decreased, while coal and gas are relatively stable. The prompt is one of the few contracts to move higher due to increased cooling demand required to deal with the hotter weather. |
