| Near curve gas prices are little changed from yesterday’s close, with far curve prices opening a touch higher on the back of rising commodity markets. The system is 8mcm long as demand remains low and Langeled flows have improved. | Weaker wind generation has helped the prompt record a strong gain this morning, with cooler weather is also forecast for next week. Meanwhile, strengthening coal, carbon and oil markets provided bullish pressure to contracts at the back of the curve. |
