| Gas prices moved down across Europe as the overall energy complex was bearish. Warm temperatures are set to continue over the coming weeks which will keep residential demand low, while a slight increase in wind levels weighed on CCGT demand. | Gas prices are stable this morning, with coal and oil recording a small loss and overall fundamentals little changed from yesterday. The system remains long as flows are comfortable and renewable levels are similar to Thursday’s levels. |

| Power contracts displayed small losses yesterday as fundamentals improved slightly and additional bearish pressure was provided by weaker coal and gas. Wind levels improved, reducing the need for gas-fired power, while solar generation was stable. | Like gas, the power curve is rather flat this morning with minimal change to the overall supply/ demand outlook and no direction provided by fuel markets. Renewable levels are almost unchanged, although above average temperatures continue to lift cooling demand. |
