| Gas prices were stable-to-bullish during Thursday’s session, with the majority of the gains displayed towards the back of the curve. Far-curve contracts found support from rising a oil market, with coal and carbon also trading higher. | Another drop in wind generation was forecast today, while a dip in temperatures is expected next week, offering some support to the prompt and near curve power prices during yesterday’s session. |

| Gas prices display further gains this morning, ignoring improved Norwegian imports and continued mild weather. Instead, prices have been pushed higher by a rise in CCGT demand following a drop in wind generation, while temperatures are also set to turn slightly cooler next week. | Wind levels are very low this morning which has resulted in a strong gain on the prompt, while cooler weather has helped to lift the rest of the near curve. Further out, contracts have followed commodity markets and eased down slightly. |
