| The expected delay of LNG shipments to the UK offered support to the front of the gas curve during Wednesday’s session, while the rest of the curve was slightly bearish due to weaker carbon and oil. | Power contracts found some support from an uptick in gas prices, although the prompt recorded a loss on the back of a stronger wind generation forecast for today and tomorrow. Far-curve prices were generally bearish as carbon markets corrected down and the outlook for oil was weak. |

| Gas contracts have opened lower this morning as demand for heating and gas-fired power has decreased, helping towards a comfortable system which is 34mcm long. Temperatures are expected to dip over the weekend but will climb above the seasonal norm next week, further weighing on prices. | Improved wind generation and milder temperatures have reduced demand this morning which has resulted in losses on the prompt and across the near curve. Contracts further out are largely stable with little direction offered by commodities. |
