| Gas prices moved down yesterday with an oversupplied system helping to weigh on near-curve prices, while the back of the curve found direction from a downward correction in European energy prices; coal, carbon and power all displayed a loss. | The system remains long this morning and contracts at the front of the curve have shed from their price as a result. European fuel markets all continue to move down, providing further weight to the back of the curve, although oil remains bullish. |

| Power prices were on the decline on Tuesday with near-curve prices following a drop in gas and carbon contracts. Weaker coal also helped towards some losses at the back of the curve but a weak Pound and bullish oil offered resistance. | Power prices continue to follow weaker fuel markets this morning, with the exception of Brent. Meanwhile, milder temperatures are expected over the coming days, reducing residential demand, while an improved wind forecast should limit any gains on the prompt. |
