| An upward revision in temperature forecasts helped to pressure down prices at the front of the gas curve during Wednesday’s session, although prices further out were more resilient as commodities displayed only minor changes. | Power contracts followed gas and displayed losses on the near curve as a result of a milder weather and improved wind generation outlook. Further out, contracts were generally stable, with little in the way of direction. |

| The UK gas system is 14mcm long this morning as the return of milder weather has helped to ease demand levels. LNG send-outs are also expected to increase in February following the recent drought, resulting in some downward movement at the front of the curve. | A healthier demand outlook has contributed to some losses on the near curve, with improved wind generation also helping to weigh on the prompt. However, overall movement is bullish due to a rise in coal and carbon. |
