| Near-curve gas prices traded down during Monday’s session as the system was oversupplied thanks to comfortable supply and weaker demand. Contracts at the back of the curve were slightly more resilient with resistance provided by a rebound in coal and oil. | Power prices were pressured down by their gas counterparts on Monday, although a rise in coal and oil capped any decreases at the back of the curve. A milder weather forecast and a healthier outlook in terms of renewables also helped to weigh on the prompt. |

| The system has fallen short this morning as supply levels have decreased and demand has ticked higher. This has restricted losses at the front of the curve, although the overall trend remains bearish. Oil continues to move higher but the European energy complex is largely stable. | Temperatures could drop below the seasonal norm at the start of April which has limited some losses at the front of the curve. Meanwhile, oil, coal and carbon markets display additional gains this morning and have offered support to power prices on the far-curve. |
