| The system remains short today on the back of high residential demand and an unplanned outage at the Forties pipeline, resulting in additional gains at the front of the gas curve this morning. Further out, prices continue to take direction from strengthening commodities. | Cooler temperatures and reduced renewable generation provides on-going support to spot prices, with tighter gas supply also a factor. Longer dated contracts also find continued support from bullish commodity and financial markets. |
