| Gas prices increased during Wednesday’s session, with a tighter supply/ demand picture offering support to the front of the curve. Further out, contracts were pushed higher by an increase in LNG prices, partly caused by a rise on US fuel markets. | Power contracts traded higher across the curve yesterday, taking direction from stronger gas and a cooler, drier and less windy weather forecast. Carbon markets stabilised, with coal and oil markets also showing little movement. |

| The UK gas system has fallen short this morning as gas-fired power demand has ramped up and temperatures have dropped below the seasonal norm. Commodity markets are generally flat and this has been mirrored by gas contracts at the start of the session. | UK markets are flat this morning, with most power prices also trading sideways, with the exception of some minor upward movement on the near curve. The prompt is the only contract to display a strong loss, correcting down from yesterday’s significant gain. |
