| Gas prices decreased during Monday’s session, with seasonal contracts showing the heaviest losses. Supply levels remained healthy despite a slight drop in temperatures, while oil prices slipped on the back of weakening fundamentals across the globe. | Wind generation was forecast to decrease today which helped the prompt climb higher yesterday, while the rest of the near curve followed weakening gas. Further out, movement was largely bearish with a lack of support offered by commodity markets. |

| Norwegian flows into the UK have picked up slightly but a decline in wind levels has increased demand for gas-fired power generation, resulting in losses on the near curve. Brent also displays another loss, weighing on prices further out. | Power prices display mixed movement this morning with some weakening at the front of the curve and gains further out.
